Labour Stitch up as Debbie Abrahams wins Oldham selection

Arif Ansari is breaking the news that as suspected Deborah Abrahams has won the selection to be Labour's candidate in Oldham.

What an utter farce that Labour can maintain the sham of carrying out a democratic process when in reality the likes of Norma Stephenson and Michael Cashman MEP who ran the shortlisting and interviews managed to keep out the most impressive local Muslim candidate Afzal Khan.

Ed Miliband should be ashamed of himself that this is how Labour continue to behave towards local Muslim pillars of the community. Moreover as I've already highlighted is Norma Stephenson the most hostile and anti Muslim member of Labour's NEC and to think she is President of Unison which must have thousands of Muslim members.

Are these the two biggest Muslim idiots in Oldham?

LM has already highlighted how Labour's NEC appear to have gerrymandered the final shortlist for Labour candidate in the Oldham bye election.

Arif Ansari also indicates the enormous surprise at the decision to omit Afzal Khan who LM inadvertently may have given the kiss of death too in my glowing recommendation of his Muslim credentials.

However, given the Labour desperation to shoe in its health geek Abrahams by getting two Muslim candidates to fight against each other one would like to think that Abdul Jabber and Riaz Ahmad might actually engage what passes as the odd brain cell and talk to each other about the wider Muslim interests of unity.

Even with one Muslim candidate standing the vote might not stack up in their favour thanks to the NEC however, currently despite stiff competition and given their refusal to compromise they have to be the two biggest Muslim idiots in Oldham.
