But that just looks daft as the Tories would jump all over it jusy as they have. All a bit amateur really. But that doesn't mean the Labour Party is antisemitic either. Quote

Others will see it for what it is. Proof that Starmer uses the barometer of public opinion before he decides upon what he believes. Mr. Beige U Turn. That fucking shyster Galloway might well now harvest the 'pro Palestinian' vote now and get across the line in Rochdale. He's even worse that the anti semite who just got canned. Quote

Or will the paper still have the labour logo against his name? I got the impression it is too late to change them. Quote

I realise it was a vote for candidate rather than party but presumably if they'd had time to reprint ballot papers without that candidate then he then wouldn't have had the option to be elected as an independent.
