McMahon joins list against Syria bombing campaign
LABOUR’S candidate in the Oldham West & Royton by-election has confirmed he would vote against bombing Syria.
Jim McMahon made the commitment on Saturday evening in a speech to activists who braved heavy downpours to hit the doors for his campaign.
The Oldham Council leader is the odds-on favourite to retain the Labour seat on Thursday and could be in Parliament for a vote as soon as Friday morning.
