Chris Bird, Treasurer and acting Secretary of Clacton Constituency Labour Party

Chris Bird is the Treasurer and acting Secretary of the Clacton Constituency Labour Party. He was "the ‘weak’ council candidate who, if the claim is to be believed, stood in order to lose" in the SKWAWKBOX report of 4 January 2017.[1][2]

Authorising the candidate

On 20 December 2016, closing date for nominations, Chris Bird signed Patrick Haseldine's nomination papers, authorising him to stand as the Labour candidate in the 2017 Frinton by-election.

Sorry you lost in Frinton

On 23 January 2017. he emailed Patrick Haseldine:

Patrick
I am sorry you lost the election and if I had not have been on holiday, I would have supported you (despite your comments about me some 3 weeks ago).[3]
Just to comment on your Wikispooks posting, I am probably the least likely member of the CLP to support Labour Friends of Israel as I am an active member of the PSC and various other pro Palestinian groups. You may be unaware that as an activist, I spent time in Palestine and worked in the West Bank and the Gaza strip and was shot at by Israeli forces for my efforts both in Rafah and in Khan Yunis.
Kind Regards
Chris
