No he wasn't facing deselection by his constituents

 

Veteran Labour MP Frank Field has quit the party's group in Parliament, saying the leadership is becoming "a force for anti-Semitism in British politics".

 

The Birkenhead MP also blamed a "culture of intolerance, nastiness and intimidation" in local parties.

A month ago he lost a confidence vote in his constituency party, after siding with the government in Brexit votes.

Stop being coy . First he was facing deselection by his constituents , then he was facing deselection by his local party , different things as you know . Then Frank field is called out to do the honourable thing and force a by election which you support . Have you called out Jared Omara to do the honourable thing ? if not why not ?

No it doesn't. I don't know how many times people will spread this outright lie. It absolutely does not say that at all.

Thanks for that Robin, i didnt know that, yeah, he should stand for re selection, he won the seat under a labour banner, and he is not now representing labour, sounds only fair to me
