Dear All
The dirty tricks war in the Norwich North by-election has started as New Labour attempts to do some fly political moves during the by-election. The Tories quite rightly are annoyed by this as they have accused a government minister of breaching "purdah" rules, which bar spending public money to influence the outcome of an election.
New Labour is desperate of course, desperate to try anything and then claim ‘accident’ or ‘error’ but these people aren’t stupid as much as they would have us believe.
So what did they do?
Justice Minister Bridget Prentice's visited Norwich County Court and issued the release of a press notice about a scheme to help people at risk of repossession in the city
She was clearly at it; this is a breach of the rules because it came during the by-election campaign for the Westminster seat of Norwich North.
The Tories in the shape of Shadow justice secretary Dominic Grieve has made a formal complaint about the incident to cabinet secretary Sir Gus O'Donnell. O’Donnell is widely regarded as the most political cabinet secretary of all time and is for the boot the minute the Tories gain office.
Prentice is no stranger to breaking the rules as last December she was found guilty by John Lyon, the anti-sleaze watchdog. She used her Communications Allowance to leaflet outside her constituency boundary. The decision was that she was forced to repay the money and give an assurance that this type of behaviour will not happen again.
Although the Tories have written to the Cabinet Secretary to the outcome has already been decided O’Donnell will go through the motions but at the end of the day, platitudes will be the end of it.
In Norwich North, Craig Murray, the former British Ambassador is standing as an independent.
I hope he wins the seat as I think the public deserve more than a New Labour/ Tory clone.
Here is a link to his website and you can spare any time or money then please feel free to contact him and volunteer.
