Councillor Greg Marshall has posted a statement on Twitter
A Nottinghamshire councillor has claimed he was "blocked" from standing as a MP candidate'. Councillor Greg Marshall, who represents Beeston West for the Labour party on Broxtowe Borough Council, has said he was blocked from becoming Labour's prospective parliamentary candidate for Broxtowe at a Selection Committee on Monday, February, February 27.
In a statement, which was posted to his Twitter account, he said: "It is with huge disappointment that yesterday I was blocked by the Labour Party from standing to represent Broxtowe at the next general election. Despite having the backing of the vast majority of members in the local party, eight trade unions, society affiliates, and respected regional Labour figures from across the political spectrum, the Party has determined that I am unfit to stand.
Mr Marshall added: "I have been blocked because the Party knew I would win. Although this is a tough pill to swallow, I will continue serving residents of Broxtowe as a councillor as I have for the last 12 years."
