We at Recess Monkey are glad to see the party can’t be accused of dithering north of the border in selecting the Labour candidate for the Glasgow East by-election.
1. CVs in by midday tomorrow
2. Long-listing tomorrow afternoon
3. Shortlisting with NEC in Glasgow on Thursday afternoon
4. Selection conference on Friday night
Prospective candidates will also be entitled to three toilet breaks, four hours sleep and one phone call home.
Sadly such a tight selection might proclude the Voice of the Delectable Left himself, Kerron Cross, who’s currently on honeymoon in the Caribbean until next Tuesday with his even more delectable wife Linsay (pictured above.)
Come on Kerron - losing your last two selections in Glasgow Central and Cumbernauld, Kilsyth & Kirkintilloch East was their loss NOT yours.
Third time lucky. Admittedly you might win it be a whisker but that’s something you have in abundance.
Politics just got SEXY….and hairy!
Chunky
