Momentum members turn down invite to Danczuk party

Date published: 07 January 2016


Momentum Rochdale Labour Party members, who have been invited, will not be attending the New Year’s Party to be hosted by Simon Danczuk on Friday (8 January).

A spokesperson said: "By attending the event, we believe that it would be a sign of our support which we believe would be prejudicial in light of Mr Danczuk’s suspension and pending investigation.

"We will alternatively be making a donation to the Rochdale Foodbank for what it would have cost us to attend."
