The Lib Dems, Middleton Independents and by-election runner-up David Tully strongly refuted any suggestion of an alliance with the Workers Party
The Liberal Democrats, the Middleton Independents and one of George Galloway’s by-election rivals have declared they do not want to be associated with him despite a Worker’s party press release stating otherwise.
“George Galloway has been in contact and apologised for using my name in the release. I am not involved with them at all.Similar rebuttals have come from Lib Dem group leader Coun Andy Kelly. He said: “We have not entered into any sort of alliance with the Workers Party. Bernard Wynne, Caitlin O’Mara, Keeley O’Mara and Lee Wolf are all Middleton Independent candidates endorsed by the Workers Party - something the group is wanting to shake off. Coun Paul Beswick, the party’s East Middleton representative, said they did not want the help or support of the Workers Party.
“For too long, they have run roughshod over the town, ignoring residents because they felt they could. On May 2, we wiped the face of the town hall clock clean. “In Central Rochdale, Farooq Ahmed has left the Liberal Democrats – even after being validly nominated by them to stand in the ward – and will be standing on our ticket. A former councillor and hardworking campaigner, he is odds on to take the seat.
