Smith dug his own grave by saying Labour HAD to support a second referendum. He surely can't have been unaware of the possible consequences.

Although Andy Burnham stood down as a shadow minister when he was selected to run as Manchester Mayor, he only stood down as an MP because the GE was called shortly before the mayoral election. I don't remember any complaint at the time about him running while still an MP before that point. Why is it a problem?

Actually, I don't think that is right.

The expectation was that both he and Steve Rotheram (his Merseyside equivalent) would resign their Westminster seats in short order.

Of course, the sudden calling of a snap GE gave them a very convenient opportunity to do so.

Embarrassing, what with the eyes of the world on us.

Still, Christopher Wylie wasn't just talking to the Observer, he has also been in dialogue with British authorities for some time, apparently:

I should probably point out that I have been proactively working with the UK authorities for months before this story came out. @facebook is not the authority here, the @ICOnews is.
If the Information Commissioner knows what she's looking for and there is evidence it's been deliberately deleted/destroyed since she requested it from CA, they are still going to be in a certain amount of trouble.

Very odd indeed to demand it before the election ?
Not up to speed on the particular details of the Sheffield mayoralty, is it a job that could be combined with being an MP ?

It may have been the expectation, though I don't remember that, but it certainly didn't happen. The GE was called just a few weeks before the mayoral election, with both still MPs when it was.

Anyway, that doesn't answer my question. Why is it a problem?

I should clarify, I get why an elected mayor shouldn't continue as an MP (and I think Boris Johnson was wrong to do both) I just don't understand why it's a problem to run for a mayoral role while still an MP.

Well that is the actual situation here - Jarvis doesn't have to quit as an MP until he is actually elected to this new post. He will have to promise to do that, however.

Then this has clearly been a pointless conversation! Sorry! The way the quote reads above gave a rather misleading impression. If Jarvis is reluctant to step down as MP if elected, I'm surprised he won the selection.

Principles, politics and money

By Richard Humphries,


A #perverse outcome of austerity is that an even bigger proportion of what money there is gets spent on the most expensive services that often deliver the poorest outcomes, whilst spending on prevention has collapsed
