Don’t think this should be allowed. How can someone like her be trusted. It would also concern me that a party leader would think it was okay. It rather feels that with everything going on with the sex scandal in the Tory party at the moment that maybe some advantage has been taken of that in the belief that less notice would be taken of the opposition appointing a criminal into office. All very sneaky. |

Not his wisest move, however this conviction is over a decade ago.
If we aim for rehabilition after crime and if there is no re-offendimg then a further chance should be possible for employment. I would have maybe thought twice but he felt able to discount an 11 year old conviction, and give an opportunity now for her to move forward again. |

Fraud and false accounting, she will fit right in.

I probably wouldn't have taken the risk. You could well be right as to it being a recipe for disaster. Although there appears to be loads of those recipes all around Westminster and politics at present. |

Corbyn has always had a fondness for and empathy with shady characters, including terrorists. A fraudster wouldn't cause him a moments concern.

Anything goes these days...or so it appears.
Time for the whole shower to clean up their act. |

Hi Jet. At best it’s stupid. Questions and allegations will always be raised. It strikes me as courting controversy - very arrogant in my opinion.

Is that a presumption? I mean, do we have evidence that Corbyn has an offshore account? you know, like all those Tory names that are are coming out? or is this just a way of deflecting away from the corruption of the Tory government?

It may be the case that on fact for a long time now things have needed to be cleaned up and also tightened up. Over time up to the present,it seems the rot has escalated. At last hopefully with all leaders and all Parties involved in addressing and dealing with the whole sorry,sordid affairs,things may improve. One can hope they will anyway. |

The Leaders have only met and discussed plans on Monday. Politics is rife with bad appointments in the last few decades and recent past in ALL Parties. The lot of them. Be as selective in only singling out one leader and party all you like but don't expect others to consider that fair or the only instance/s. |

Only when you have a closed mind and an agenda. It is a valid point. Is appointing a convicted vote rigger a wise decision when she will likely be involved in future elections. It will likely open the flood gates as far as future vote rigging allegations are concerned. Do the Labour Party really need that sort of publicity.

Closed mind? it's been in the public domain for over a year...
“I foolishly signed council papers to say that I had completed work that I hadn’t, which involved signing the details of whoever occupied the address to be an accurate record — details that were already on the electoral roll. “I admitted to doing this on 20 forms — which amounted to fraudulently claiming £21.15". In 2016 Momentum issued a statement about Ms Thompson's criminal past, saying “Marsha-Jane’s conviction is now spent. She has always been open about the conviction, which she still deeply regrets, with her employers.” This 'expose' is nothing but a clumsy deflection. Is it in the same ball park as the expenses scandal...is that up for discussion?

Sadly so Kizzy.
I made an effort to discuss this in a balanced way rather than just from selective dislike of individual or Party. Sadly that apears impossible to do. The more worrying thing about this is, someone pleading guilty to a wrong/crime,who is then given a legal punishment,duly completed too.. Who after 11 years on from that now spent conviction, should according to a few here,never get given work again. It makes you wonder why we bother with a judicial system of crime and then punishment /rehabilitation. Perhaps we should just leave it to these armchair kangaroo uncompromising personal courts. |

It doesn't shock me. Politicians are an interesting breed. I wouldn't appoint an accountant who had a criminal background; I can see no reason why he should if he thinks he will be running the country at some point.
