WITH the Labour Party having undertaken an "historic" re-alignment towards the far-left both nationally and locally, including allowing an open-house policy on party membership from previously barred groups and individuals (including Communists, Trotskyites, etc!) the General Election on June 8 provides an opportunity for both electors and the local media to quite reasonably question their three Bolton Labour candidates (Qureshi, Crausby and Hilling) as to their own position on the party's leadership and direction?

With both Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell unashamedly happy to promote Marxism, (anti-Semitic) Hamas and the IRA, how do these three Bolton Labour candidates justify standing for a party that condones these two men's Leadership?

If they are happy to accept the present situation, then why should the overwhelming majority of local electors who abhor terrorism and extremism support their election as MPs for Bolton?
