Quote:
Laurence Fox has been barred from taking part in the London mayoral elections after submitting invalid nomination papers.

London Elects, the impartial organisation that oversees the City Hall elections, said that Mr Fox’s application to stand in the May 2 election was “not valid”...

...According to an email published on X by Mr Fox on Thursday night, a London Elects official told his election agents that “the Islington and Lambeth nomination papers only had nine valid subscribers, not the required 10”.

The email, apparently from Alex Conway, the deputy Greater London returning officer, added: “Three further subscribers for other boroughs could not be reconciled to voter register records.”

London Elects said in a statement on Wednesday night: “The Reclaim Party candidate’s representatives met with London Elects for the first time on Tuesday 26 March, less than 24 hours before the close of the nominations deadline. At that time, the paperwork was incomplete.

“Mr Fox’s representatives were advised to ensure that completed forms were submitted well before the Wednesday 4pm statutory deadline.

“The paperwork was submitted very shortly before 4pm. Upon inspection, the nomination forms contained errors which - the deadline having passed - were too late for Mr Fox’s team to correct.

I don't think it'd be fair to speculate, however bureaucracy is being used to silence him and keep him off the ballot. Something considered an outrage in the west when it was Navalny, someone who had never scored more than about 12 per cent in any election he'd ever stood in.

It'd be hypocritical to silence Fox on this basis, IMHO.

Re: GB News / Talk TV

So, someone leaving things to the last minute, and being too stupid to fill the forms in correctly, even when given a second chance, is "being silenced"?

You are literally comparing someone who couldn’t complete eligibility paperwork, and who received 47k votes out of 2.5 million in the previous election (the Greens got five times as many votes) with someone who was poisoned, imprisoned, and murdered - you really are jumping the shark…

It was the paperwork that kept Navalny off the ballot. Who knows where the slippery slope in this country, or the USA, ends.

The circumstances around Navalny's death is open to speculation and if he was murdered it's equally plausible someone trying to destabilise Russian domestic politics chose to do so.

The last time Lozza tried to get elected he got fewer votes than Count Binface. Why in holy hell would anyone consider him worth the effort to ‘silence’ him?

Whatever it is you’ve been smoking these past few days you really need to take a night off.

I think Laurence is, as is known in the trade, as a ' mentalist'.

Shame, his cousin Emilia is quite nice .

Oh come on half of it is having fun pointing out western hypocrisy. Nobody cares about Lozza, I agree, as few cared for Navalny. The Trump question is more pertinent but it has a thread of it's own.

No, Navalny was barred from running for office in the Presidential Elections because of a conviction in a made-up fraud case…

Is this the latest Fancy Bear line - intimating that Navalny was murdered by the CIA (whilst imprisoned in a Siberian Gulag) to destabilise Russian domestic politics?

You’re not just jumping the shark - that’s at least a double backflip fake bigspin…
