LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Maybe one day the Labour Party will listen

I AM amazed that Cllr Dominic Beck, RMBC cabinet member, has decided to limp off the stage as a righteous soul after his bid to be Member of Parliament for Rother Valley collapsed in to a sink hole.

He had no right to be in the running for Member of Parliament for Rother Valley. He had no right to resign his position as candidate as if he was doing us all a favour ...he has serious, recorded and verified allegations against his name.

He’s resigned absolutely because he was caught out in that he thought the people of Rotherham were somehow stupid enough to elect him as a Member of Parliament.

His time in the Cabinet didn’t really bother me that much but his efforts to get Shaun Wright in as Police & Crime Commissioner caused me serious concern and yet the Labour Party, including certain MPs, all sang his praises.

The matter of protecting our children against abuse must be at the forefront of our minds ...maybe one day the Labour Party will listen?
