George Galloway just raised 10k in a week to run for the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election. idk why he's wasting money on a remainder seat

Looks like he raised the funds to stand in a Rutherglen and Hamilton By-election. Has Ferrier resigned*?

I’m sure if no by-election happens he will be returning any donated funds.

does anyone have a count of just how many failed attempts he's had between all these by-elections and mayoral runs? must be competing with Farage for most.

not resigning. but we're still waiting on the parliamentary committee on standards to issue a report. if they give her a 2+ week suspension that'll trigger a recall petition, which would almost certainly get enough votes to force a by-election.

I'm a little confused as to what happened here, is it just a convention that the NEC will vote for the former Vice Chair, & is it within Starmer's gift to change that?

Obviously it's a factional attack, but 24 votes for Becket sounds like the NEC had a majority to whatever rule changes were necessary anyway

e: talking about the LabourList tweet, not the quote-tweet. I understand what happened with Beckett being a Blairite stooge

I don't know the detail but yes, fairly longstanding tradition was the vice chair would automatically take over from the outgoing chair when their tenure ended. Vice chair was a Corbyn supporter so they've scrapped the system to parachute Beckett in because it was unfair that she's never been chair or something equally daft.

Specifically she apparently though it was relevant in 2017, which is when the conference happened and when that was tweeted.

I have not watched it so I don't know if that makes a difference.
