Robert Largan
@robertlargan

So many local Labour voters have told me they’re going to vote for me, because they want to keep me as their local MP.

There have been so many that I’m launching a new Labour for Largan club. You can join other traditional Labour voters backing me at: .....

The large-scale MRP polling, published by Electoral Calculus and Find Out Now, predicted that the Conservatives will be reduced to just 66 seats, compared to Labour with 476. Wow

A Rishi Sunak moment in Richmond would be worth waiting up for Not impossible either.

So he claims....

The alternative view is he is trying to mislead people into think he is Labour's candidate.

The Electoral Commission will look into this. Very dodgy.

And the Derbyshire police.

Largan has form on this sort of behaviour - from last year

An MP has been accused of trying to con the public by distributing a "fake" newspaper.

Conservative Robert Largan has been issuing a newsletter called High Peak Reporter in his Derbyshire constituency.

But the owner of a former independent title of the same name said the MP's publication was misleading voters.

Concern raised over High Peak MP's advice on polling station photo ID

The Electoral Commision has raised concerns over advice issued by High Peak MP Robert Largan over the controversial new requirement for voters to show photo ID at polling stations, in force for the first time at this month’s council elections.
As in-person voting got under way on Thursday, May 4, Mr Largan issued a final reminder to constituents about the new rules via his official email and Facebook accounts.

In it, he wrote: “Don’t forget you now need to show photo ID at the polling station. You can use any form of photo ID, current or expired. Such as driving licence (including a provisional driving licence), passport, bus pass, Blue Badge or an identity card with the ‘PASS’ hologram.”

While the examples Mr Largan cited would all qualify, the Electoral Commission took issue with the statement.

A spokesperson said: “It’s concerning that these instructions were included as it was not the correct advice for these elections. We spoke to the local party about the error, who informed us this was rectified. Voters deserve accurate information from parties about how to take part in elections.”
