1
00:00:00,199 --> 00:00:03,560
with the link to the conservative party

2
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:06,080
chairman we'll be bringing you grant

3
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:09,360
shaps live as soon as the link is uh

4
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:12,120
restored but now well wherever George

5
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:14,400
Galloway goes controversy follows but

6
00:00:12,120 --> 00:00:17,119
labor rivals in his Bradford West seat

7
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:19,160
seem to be in a mess of their own making

8
00:00:17,119 --> 00:00:22,439
after Galloway unexpectedly thumped them

9
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:24,640
in a 2012 byelection Ed miliband made

10
00:00:22,439 --> 00:00:26,920
predictable noises about rebuilding

11
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:30,039
trust in what had previously been a rock

12
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:32,239
solid labor seat but instead there's a

13
00:00:30,039 --> 00:00:34,960
bitter ra raging over the selection of a

14
00:00:32,239 --> 00:00:37,000
candidate to challenge Galloway now news

15
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:39,719
night's been told that some local labor

16
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:42,160
members plan to campaign for Galloway

17
00:00:39,719 --> 00:00:44,360
and that the continuing conflict could

18
00:00:42,160 --> 00:00:46,440
threaten Labor's hold on neighboring

19
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:49,399
constituencies Laura has been trying to

20
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,399
get to the bottom of

21
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:55,719
things Bradford had labor almost baked

22
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:59,480
into its bricks but shoved Out 3 years

23
00:00:55,719 --> 00:01:01,800
ago Ed miliband swore he'd rebuild here

24
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:05,280
trying to to move on from a brutal

25
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:07,759
defeat in his own Yorkshire constituency

26
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:11,159
backyard so in these streets is there

27
00:01:07,759 --> 00:01:13,280
much sign of a revitalized rebuilt labor

28
00:01:11,159 --> 00:01:17,400
party news night's been told what's

29
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:19,400
happened here is a complete disaster

30
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:23,159
that might kill off the party's chances

31
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:26,400
not in one but two seats in this city in

32
00:01:23,159 --> 00:01:28,280
an election where one or two might make

33
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,920
all the

34
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:33,280
difference maybe her face gave it away

35
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:36,360
then a fortnight ago Amina Ali was

36
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,520
chosen to fight Galloway you're not from

37
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,759
Bradford is that going to be an

38
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:42,000
impediment to to your progress no it's

39
00:01:39,759 --> 00:01:44,799
not because um for me it's all about

40
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,920
having an MP that's visible invisible as

41
00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:50,280
it turns out she decided moving from

42
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:52,680
London was too much and quit in days so

43
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:55,640
Naas sha was chosen not voted for by

44
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:57,560
members despite this friendly snap

45
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,520
negative material about her past is

46
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:01,240
circulating labor wouldn't make her

47
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:03,640
available ble to speak for herself but

48
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:05,680
insists she's a fantastic candidate and

49
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:08,319
there's nothing wrong with the selection

50
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,239
even though she voted for respect last

51
00:02:08,319 --> 00:02:12,319
time

52
00:02:09,239 --> 00:02:14,800
round we've been told after the party's

53
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:17,480
decision the local selection was

54
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:19,840
absolutely fixed to choose the weakest

55
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:22,560
candidate crazy as that seems this close

56
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:26,480
to the election and Ed Milan's office

57
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:29,640
had been warned imposing its will could

58
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:32,800
backfire there's local labor Fury at how

59
00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:35,239
they see the leadership behaved I resent

60
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,319
that the people from outside interfering

61
00:02:35,239 --> 00:02:39,319
in politics of Bradford people from

62
00:02:37,319 --> 00:02:41,159
Birmingham people from London people

63
00:02:39,319 --> 00:02:43,120
from elsewhere they should not be

64
00:02:41,159 --> 00:02:46,239
interfering politics with Bradford the

65
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:48,800
feeling out there is that the the labor

66
00:02:46,239 --> 00:02:51,720
party wants to teach a Muslim Community

67
00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:54,840
a lesson for voting for George

68
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:56,840
Gallow sources say labor HQ broke a

69
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:59,000
promise and only allowed women to run

70
00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:01,720
for the seat that's denied but there's

71
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,760
no denying the process became a farce a

72
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:06,280
total mess the fault lies entirely with

73
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:09,080
the party one Insider

74
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:11,120
said George Gallow may come with a

75
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:13,480
political circus but it's an effective

76
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:16,560
one labor will face on May the 7th in

77
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:18,840
Bradford West he's loved and loathed but

78
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:21,360
everyone knows who he is so what do you

79
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:23,400
think of Mr Galloway we don't see him

80
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,799
I've got no no time for the guy he's

81
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,680
just on his own agenda didn't he you

82
00:03:25,799 --> 00:03:29,560
were a labor voter before definitely

83
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,959
yeah I was I was but I mean as I said I

84
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,439
mean over the years labor has obviously

85
00:03:30,959 --> 00:03:34,640
changed and Our Generations have we want

86
00:03:33,439 --> 00:03:36,400
something different for our particular

87
00:03:34,640 --> 00:03:38,159
area someone to stand for our rights and

88
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:41,319
we feel George Gallow is that person for

89
00:03:38,159 --> 00:03:43,239
us Arad Ali who campaigned for respect

90
00:03:41,319 --> 00:03:45,159
believes labor has lost it we're

91
00:03:43,239 --> 00:03:46,640
standing 100 yards in the shadow of the

92
00:03:45,159 --> 00:03:49,239
building where the labor party was

93
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:52,040
conceived and uh uh uh came into

94
00:03:49,239 --> 00:03:55,120
existence and this is unfortunately the

95
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:58,239
city where the labor party has been most

96
00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:00,640
disgraced but who's in charge many

97
00:03:58,239 --> 00:04:04,040
staunchly argue the influ of the city's

98
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:06,239
Pakistani Clans is wildly overstated but

99
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:09,439
for some campaigners the problem is

100
00:04:06,239 --> 00:04:12,599
precisely that Ed mband didn't dismantle

101
00:04:09,439 --> 00:04:15,760
their control what Ed mband needed to do

102
00:04:12,599 --> 00:04:18,600
was grasp the nettle actually disband

103
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:21,440
the membership disband the local party

104
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:22,960
and start aresh he didn't do it and

105
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,479
therefore the shambles that we have

106
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:28,000
right now is a result of weak

107
00:04:25,479 --> 00:04:30,280
leadership the ill will could threaten

108
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,680
labor votes right across the city we

109
00:04:30,280 --> 00:04:35,960
might end up losing Bradford East and

110
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:37,960
West said one Insider if we're two down

111
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:41,280
when it's all over then these will be

112
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:44,199
the two said another they completely

113
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:46,520
misunderstand I believe ad Mand only

114
00:04:44,199 --> 00:04:48,560
came once to Bradford and it's taken

115
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:51,000
three years to arrive to this stage

116
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:53,600
where we are and I think it it's a

117
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,240
completely wrong process the party has

118
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:59,000
developed a lot of members uh would not

119
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,880
be going out actively companding for the

120
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,160
labor candidate date the most of the

121
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:06,360
members probably would stay

122
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:08,880
home we've even been told some labor

123
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:11,759
members will campaign for George

124
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:14,919
Galloway others insist their core team

125
00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:17,039
can and will pull together but concede

126
00:05:14,919 --> 00:05:19,880
Mr Galloway will rub his hands at what

127
00:05:17,039 --> 00:05:24,000
seems a self-inflicted wound despite

128
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:26,880
labor hq's promises one source told us

129
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:30,000
they have no idea they just don't

130
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:32,080
understand how the politics works the

131
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,520
party says it's confident of a strong

132
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:37,280
campaign after all it's in Bradford Ed

133
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:39,680
millerand vowed to win back trust but

134
00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:42,720
along with Labor candidates that seems

135
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:45,680
hard to find right now no party can

136
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:48,039
afford a local difficulty to leave them

137
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:51,479
nationally falling

138
00:05:48,039 --> 00:05:53,199
short Laura kbur in Bradford and I'm

139
00:05:51,479 --> 00:05:56,720
delighted to say that Grant shaps the

140
00:05:53,199 --> 00:05:59,479
conservative party chairman joins me now

141
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:01,039
