FOR the second General Election in a row, Keighley Labour Party has chosen a candidate from outside the constituency.

Why? Is it because they do not want to face the public regarding the Marley project, the closing of all public toilets and the stopping of weekly dustbin emptying, imposed on us by Labour-controlled Bradford Council?

Or is it because they could not find anyone in Keighley willing to defend the Labour Party manifesto? Clarification would be appreciated.
