Owen Paterson: Labour set to contest North Shropshire by-election
BBC News says Labour sources have indicated the party will put up a candidate in the by-election prompted by Conservative MP Owen Paterson’s resignation.
Talks were held on Thursday between Labour, the Liberal Democrats and Greens over whether to back an independent “anti-sleaze” candidate.
Mr Paterson stepped down in North Shropshire following a row over his breaking of MPs’ rules.
No date has yet been set for the resulting by-election. North Shropshire has been an ultra-safe Conservative seat.
