From the Guardian

10.38am: David Collis, chairman of North West Norfolk Constituency Labour party, has issued a statement about Manish Sood.

Manish Sood does not represent the views of North West Norfolk Labour party members. Manish has been divorced from this campaign for some time but clearly determined to get as much attention for himself as possible.

Despite having such a dreadful candidate, loyal Labour members will continue to put the case for Gordon Brown as the best man to take Britain forward. This is the latest in a series of bizarre comments which he has made over a long period of time, and local Labour supporters in North West Norfolk want to make it clear that local members do not share his views.

We are fully in support of Gordon Brown as leader of our party and of the excellent campaign he is running. Now more than ever, Britain needs a Labour government to secure a future fair for all and we will make clear to Manish Sood how angry we are with him at the next meeting of the constituency party.

Party sources have told the Press Association that the local party considered deselecting Sood on several occasions but decided it "wasn't worth the effort".
