Oh dear, more mess for labour.

I think Labour will wash their hands of these two. Danczuk will be quietly deselected.

He doesn't come over as a particularly attractgive individual.

He is currently suspended from the Party for sending explicit texts to a teenage girl.

His claim is that he sent 'no more than six words' of a sexual nature.

Call me old-fashioned, but I would say that is just the six words too many!

[jackthehat]

By all accounts he is slowly eroding the support and faith he enjoyed in the early part of his career as MP for Rochdale by his regular and embarrassing appearances in the national press over tawdry issues in his private life.

Dam you Labour! even I am starting to feel sorry for them!

they've already suspended him, haven't they? I doubt he'll be back. The actions of individual MPs like this may irritate constituents but they don't usually bring disgrace on the whole party (think John Major and Edwina Currie: people sniggered but it didn't make any difference to their voting habits).

He would appear to be lacking the 'likeability' factor that can help MP's over these bumps in the road.

That combined with the nature of his alleged behaviour which has led to his suspension means that he is surely on the way out as a public servant.

I don't think Currie's ever been much liked (though I admired her sheer gall); but yes, Danczuk seems to be busily alienating anyone who might vote for him.

[Gromit]

The Major/Currie tryst was revealed long after he was PM. There was no damage to his career because it was already over.

Danczuk Is a Blairite and very anti Corbyn. I can't see him being re-selected by the party or his local party. By all appearances he is an alcoholic, and will continue to bring disrepute to the party.
