It is true that a small number of #labourmps were blocked or deselected as candidates in the run up to #ukgeneralelection2024 but this was far fewer than the number of #conservativemps treated similarly in the run up to #ukgeneralelection2019 . It was claimed also that new candidates were vetted extensively and were drawn largely from a particular faction associated with among others #lukeakehurst . This may have been true but if so they seem to have been 'Vicars of Bray' rather than zealots!

Furthermore the most recent survey has been criticised for bias towards #london because it takes more account of housing costs than its predecessors. This criticism has come explicitly from #lukeakehurst - now an M.P. in #durham .
