SINCE the infamous case of the “Rochdale Seven”
- the expulsion of seven Labour members over their complaints about
Danczuk’s suitability as a candidate which was triggered by his then
girlfriend Karen Burke being dumped at Alicante Airport with no money
and two small children to look after - Danczuk has had the backing of
his local Labour party, duly rubber-stamped by the national
organisation.
But after he was suspended following the revelation of his “sexting”
a 17-year-old girl just over a year ago, the cracks started to appear.
When it came to nominating a Labour candidate for the new post of Metro
Mayor for Manchester, Danczuk’s backers tried to keep front-runner Andy
Burnham out of the constituency. They failed: Burnham got to address
local party members, and Rochdale CLP then backed him.
So
it should have surprised no-one last week, at Rochdale CLP’s AGM, that
Simon Danczuk’s friends and apologists got what the Norwegian football
commentator memorably called “One hell of a beating”. Apart from
the position of treasurer, which none of Spanker Si’s detractors wanted
to contest, every other post up for grabs was secured by someone who
wants Danczuk out of Rochdale Labour politics.
Every last post on the CLP taken away from what is referred to in a tone more serious than outsiders might imagine as “The Danczuk mafia”.
Another prop kicked away from an MP who still fantasises about being
let back into a party which gives every sign of not wanting anything
more to do with him. And it gets worse - a lot worse.
