CROYDON Labour’s flagship candidate has been hotly tipped to
become the official Parliamentary Candidate for Holborn and St Pancras –
triggering a costly by-election in the swing ward of Waddon, to which he was
elected this May.
According to a report in the Camden
New Journal, Pelling was signed up to compete for the Parliamentary seat
against other Labour big hitters.
A Tory source said, “It’s well known that Pelling was using
Waddon as a stepping stone so he could get back into Parliament. His Labour
colleagues must be very disappointed that they’ll be facing a by-election in
Waddon because of his self-serving actions.”
Pelling, who threatened
legal action against Labour colleagues last year, quit the Tories after his
ex-wife accused him of assault.
