THERE is absolute chaos in both Labour and the Lib Dems in Canterbury after a unilateral alliance sensationally backfired, TBG can sensationally reveal.
It’s all over the national party’s decision to find a candidate to replace Tim Walker who stood down earlier today to give Labour’s Rosie Duffield a chance to unite the Remain vote and beat the Conservatives.
Duffield was sensationally linked with a move to the Lib Dems herself just weeks ago.
A local source has told TBG that the local party members had a vote amongst themselves.
They decided not to field a candidate.
However, this was overruled by Lib Dem’s HQ.
Thus meaning that local members have until Thursday to select a new candidate.
There are four local Lib Dems who are approved candidates.
However, not a single one is willing to stand.
Thus meaning that the national party will now have to impose a candidate on Canterbury from outside the city completely.
