Wronged former Labour mayoral prospect issues statement on court decision to accept party’s unsubstantiated and already-discredited claim
Liverpool councillor Anna Rothery has issued a statement expressing her ‘disappointment’ that a court yesterday decided to accept Labour’s feeble – and already discredited – excuse for blocking her from the party’s process for selecting a candidate for May’s mayoral election.
Rothery was barred when Labour scrapped its entire shortlist of three women councillors, despite questions being raised only about the track record of one of them.
Rothery has thanked her supporters for their solidarity and now says she is considering her options. There is a considerable cry for her to stand as an independent candidate.
