Labour’s massive leaflet mix-up

The Labour party have their work cut out this election if they want to close the gap in the polls and make up for their leader’s disastrous interview with Andrew Neil last night. Unfortunately, it appears that the Labour party campaign machine might not be quite up to the challenge.

Local Labour activists in South Thanet in Kent have been up in arms this week, after they found out that voters in their area have been posted Labour leaflets from the wrong part of the country.

Instead of being petitioned by their local Labour branch, residents of South Thanet have instead received mail from Labour’s Emma Lewell-Buck, who hopes to represent, errr, the good people of South Shields in the North East of England. It’s not known exactly how many people in Kent have received the leaflets, but Thanet’s Labour activists fear their entire constituency may have been bombarded with mail from the wrong candidate.
