This title alone tells us how fucked up everything is these days.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Labour decided to hold the contest as quickly as possible to “ensure a vacuum isn’t created for George Galloway and his circus of division”, as one party insider put it.

Danczuk, 57, was Labour MP for Rochdale from 2010 until 2017 but was blocked from standing in Theresa May’s snap election after a series of lurid tabloid scandals.

Talking to the Guardian on Thursday from Rochdale’s Baum pub, Danczuk said the portrayal of him as a “sex shame MP” was “absolute nonsense, a tabloid creation”.

He insisted: “The real reason that I wasn’t allowed to stand for Labour in 2017 is because I was, as described by the Financial Times, Jeremy Corbyn’s fiercest critic.”

Last month an independent review found that the police and local Labour-run council left vulnerable young girls “at the mercy of their abusers”.

In 2012 he spoke out about the racial element of a series of sex-grooming cases in Rochdale, in which gangs of Asian men were found guilty of exploiting vulnerable white girls.
