It appears no reason has been given for the "investigation", which seems slightly odd.

Apparently the Labour Party are claiming they don’t live in Brighton. This has to be one of the more bizarre suspensions. Especially two at once.

The individuals have been pretty silent. If false addresses were presented on their nominations there's a legal matter to address, not just one of party membership. The local party was, I believe, suspended during the selection process so the selections appear to have been conducted by the Regional Party. I'd imagine that there'll be some questions asked about the processes used. |

What do you expect when you disenfranchise the local party? |

You might still expect those responsible in the regional party (or whoever) to notice this sort of thing.
Though of course it is not necessary to live in a local authority to stand for election there, so presumably some sort of subterfuge is suspected.

As stated in the Brighton & Hove News link given above, when nominated both gave their addresses as being in Brighton & Hove. |

The police have been informed (by the local MP for one). |

Were the local people are known? |

As I understand it the Region conducted the selection process with very limited branch involvement. I did encounter one of them on a zoom call and had some concerns (on other matters) which I passed on to a local member. |

I think you would expect them to notice if the regional party was effectively acting on behalf of a local clique. Because in that case it would have been a fix, but at least it would have been a fix from people who knew who the relevant players were. |

David Nolan (Hessle ward) suspended from the East Riding Lib Dems for his opposition to the proposed devolution deal for Hull & the East Riding. I've not really taken to Nolan previously but he's 100% correct here.
