SIMON Danczuk, the Labour MP for Rochdale, is determined to get a fair crack of the whip from Labour's national executive committee (NEC) investigation into the case of his 'sexting' to a 17-year-old lass, in which he asked her about 'spanking' and said that he was getting 'horny'.
Last week Rochdale constituency Labour Party sent a 'letter of support' for Danczuk to the Labour NEC, in which it called for a 'fair' investigation into the sexting scandal which led to the MP's suspension in December.
This week's Private Eye reports that '[a] number of complaints have now been received by the NEC stating that the letter was only signed off by a handful of Danczuk's cronies, including council leader Richard Farnell, and does not represent the views of the local party at all.'
Northern Voices' has seen the e-mails leading up to the letter to the NEC, and while we do not object to its request that he should get what we would call a fair hearing, it is troubling if the leadership of the local party rushed off a letter to the NEC without proper consultation.
