What Would Kerry Say?

John Cowan is the Labour candidate for Cambridge and

regular contributor
to LabourList. He used to be in the Lib Dems before he was expelled for being a sex pest. He then tried and failed to join the Tories. Labour welcomed in with open arms and even made him candidate:
This is strange given it was a complaint from Labour's Kerry McCarthy that got Cowan kicked out of the Lib Dems in the first place. Why then is she now refusing to answer questions about this and apparently happy to see someone who, when a political rival, she objected to, but as a fellow candidate under the red banner apparently fine?

Stunning hypocrisy once again from the Twitter Tsar...

Obviously a conviction politician.

Refusing to comment on something is not the same thing as condoning it. I doubt very much whether Kerry McCarthy is "fine" with this, but she doesn't have the ultimate say on who gets to join her party or who it selects as an election candidate.

So just grow up, you posh twat.

anonymong,

Kerry has had this put to her by the press an she refuses to see what the problem is.

No need to be so rude.

TB - Cowan is the Labour PPC for South East Cambridgeshire. Cambridge's Labour PPC is the delightful Daniel Zeichner, of Hitler salute fame (https://conservativehome.blogs.com/leftwatch/2010/03/labour-candidate-gives-nazi-salute-as-he-lazily-smears-tory-allies-in-europe.html)

Harry - a correction: he's standing in South East Cambridgeshire (Daniel Zeichner is Cambridge's Labour Candidate)

Great excuse he comes up with, too: "I sent the emails because I wanted to blacken my party as I was leaving it". Don't you just love honour in politician?

This man's a disgrace.

At the South Norfolk Euro count last year Cowan was walking around dressed like Tony Manero (white suit, black shirt and white tie) - snappy image for a politician.

Local rumour is that he was kicked out of the Lib Dems for dodgy expenses claims for room hire, the truth will out eventually apparently.

John has been posting on the Pistonheads motoring forum for some time and has gained quite a following

Why on earth would anybody want to vote for a racist simpleton....... we'll find out on May 6th how many really dumb people there are in Cambridge!

Isn't this guy the Labour candidate for Cambridge?

Personally I'm hoping Old Holborn wins that particular seat.......

To be fair, a sex pest is a considerable step up from Zeichner.

There is lots coming out about Cowan including his relationship with 15 year old school girl Shannan Revel!

You are being unfair to Kerry as this all happened long before she was an MP
