Additional contests on 14 November
Calderdale, Todmorden, Stansfield - Lib Dem, Lab
Derbyshire Dales, Hartington Town Quarter - Giving the Community it's Voice, Local Farmer in Hartington

Could do with a [sic] there to show that the mistake is on the SOPN rather than being one all of your own making. The question now is whether that's the candidate's own error or an administrative mishap?

But how would you know whether the [sic] was listener's, or one of the candidate's own making, or indeed an administrative addition?

[listener]

The grammatical error is on the SOPN, but it could be a candidate error or an administrative error.

Was curious about which Communist Party, however when I went to the SoPN it shows Socialist. Was faintly disappointed.

Upon further digging Chris Hall appears to be a member of the Oxford Socialist Independents, a Labour splinter group formed in 2023.

Thank you for your response. That answers the question, and yes that would have been fascinating. Is he just a Socialist as in description or a Socialist as in the SPGB and the others in their ilk?
