What they printed

Here's what they printed:

In contrast, Bill Martin, the Socialist party candidate in Junction, highlighted their lack of focus on his election. “My colleagues out and about have run into someone from the Labour party, but it has been a very low key,” he said.

“I haven’t had any leaflets through my door, put it that way. I haven’t seen anything that looks overtly Liberal or Labour in the area, which you do get in other campaigns. I think it’s treading water. I’ve only seen one or two election posters in windows; one was Green and was I think the other was maybe Labour, but that could have been from five years ago.”


The grammar is all wrong as Bill was talking about the Labour campaign not ours. At least people will know we're standing.

I've posted this on this article: "As ever with my dealings with journalists, I'll admit I'm not as careful as a professional politician. I do, though, have to take issue with the suggestion in this piece that "In contrast, Bill Martin, the Socialist party candidate in Junction, highlighted **their lack of focus on his election.** “My colleagues out and about have run into someone from the Labour party, but it has been a very low key,” he said." I most certainly did not say that our Party was not focusing on my election. We have been out leafletting and putting the socialist case at this election, as hard as we do at any election with the resources at our command."
