Former Chesterfield LibDem MP fights bullying claims
« on: January 27, 2015, 10:51:32 PM »
Former Chesterfield MP Paul Holmes has allegedly been found to have bullied Liberal Democrat parliamentary candidate Julia Cambridge after she submitted a complaint about her fellow party member.

And I thought they were such a cool bunch…

Posted on the "other place" to see what Henri will reveal. Not good political timing to have such a public argument

If she gets bullied by her own party, how's she going to do in Parliament?

Bullying in any work force is unacceptable - this has yet to unfold

I have to agree with Slacker (and you know how annoyed that makes me!!)
I can't see what she hopes to gain from the timing of this.
I don't think Paul Holmes was so hated by his own party or the voters that she feels the need to distance herself from him or blacken his name.
I knew him when he was a candidate, a councillor and an MP
I had a close working relationship with many senior members of his party locally.
I never heard anything but good things about him.
I wonder if he was pushed out after the last election to be replaced by Ms Cambridge and there's an element of sour grapes to this?

Incidentally another piece of poor journalism by the DT.
First woman to stand for Parliament in Chesterfield?
Whilst I might forgive them forgetting Helen Anscombe in the 1984 by election (Independant 34 votes) or local campaigner Jeannie Robinson in 2001 (socialist alliance 437 votes) it's a bit much that they've forgotten that Carolyn Abbot stood in 2010 for the Tories gained 7214 votes and thus arguably handed  the election win to Toby Perkins

After admit, my daughter had some dealings with Paul Holmes and couldn't fault him.

You may be right OC, although I have heard little moans (Chesterfield's speciality) over the years about him.

Maybe the new LibDem hopeful is a bit too nice for the job.

Still, it's politics - guaranteed to bring out the worst in folks.  :))

From what I've heard LibDem councillors are siding with JC rather than PH

Not bought Derbys Time today, wondered what page they have hidden the story on. Their facebook page tends to put stories on 3 times (except this one)

Did Nadine used to live in Chesterfield OC? Just wondered whey otherwise home was getting incolved, against protocol, with matters outside his constituency.

No I think it was more to do with her access campaigning in Chesterfield town center.

Just nipped over there to see what the 'slagging off' was about. One thing strikes me (and I think I can say this without risk of legal action.). CC still talks complete and utter B******s

No need for it JR but it happens all the time.
If members 'don't fit' they are laughed at and ridiculed for petty things at time such as spelling mistakes and grammar.

Down right ignorant and rude.

If that happened on here - I wouldn't want to be a member.

Nicheuk - yes I've seen your posts, obviously gunning for you  >; doubt that will bother you though  ;)
