CHANNEL 4 News reported that seven police forces including Greater Manchester have launched investigations into possible election fraud with a further three forces saying they will also be doing so in the coming weeks.

Election fraud is a very serious crime and if proved could bring down the government. What is the Bolton Labour party's response to this state of affairs? Not a peep as far as I can see. Many in the town will be unaware of this situation. Why are the opposition parties not shouting this from the roof-tops.

Time for some fresh blood in the council chamber.
