Simon Danczuk: Comment from Councillor Andy Kelly, Liberal Democrat Candidate for Rochdale...
2 May 2017
"If Simon Danczuk cannot stand for Labour, then that's good news for our town. The Liberal Democrats are fighting hard to win in June. We have dozens of new members and activists ready to give Rochdale the fresh start it deserves.
"We fully expect Danczuk to stand as an Independent to pocket close to a whopping £40,000 redundancy package. It would be interesting to see whether the local Labour Party back him as they have continued to do throughout the scandals that have dragged our town down."
