Miliband says Labour have acted “swiftly and thoroughly” over Falkirk selection

Speaking to BBC News earlier, Ed Miliband said:

“I’m clear that all of our parliamentary candidates must be and will be selected in a fair and transparent way. There have been serious issues in Falkirk. We’ve acted swiftly and thoroughly, including by suspending the local party, and we will continue to act quickly and thoroughly on all of these issues.”

“My message to everybody is that we’re going to select candidates in the Labour party in a fair and transparent way and when there are problems, we are going to take swift and decisive action and that will continue to be the case.”
