Conservative election candidate pleads guilty to making false declaration

A Conservative council candidate for Enfield has pleaded guilty to making a false declaration on his nomination papers for last year's local elections.

Michael Fadaka failed to declare a 2011 conviction for benefit fraud which legally barred him from standing in an election until 2016. He will be sentenced on March 18th and could go to prison.

UKIP councillor attacked by Labour supporters outside Heywood & Middleton polling station

The new UKIP Group Leader on Dudley MBC has reportedly been assaulted by a Labour supporter, believed to be a local councillor, in Heywood & Middleton.

Cllr Paul Brothwood was keeping an eye on a polling station and asked the occupants of a car covered with Labour posters not to park outside the polling station which is a criminal offence. He was then allegedly assaulted and had his phone snatched off him and smashed by a Labour supporter believed to be a local councillor. The police have been called in to investigate.

Can you identify the driver of this Labour campaign vehicle? The number plate is a little difficult to make out but looks to be NX04 UTY.
