A London MP candidate is facing calls to apologise after being pictured hanging a Labour party campaign banner on gravestones.
Perhaps Labour are looking for "skeleton " staff

Darren Rodwell, the Labour candidate for Barking, was photographed tying promotional material to tombstones in the grounds of Barking Abbey.
Mr Rodwell, who is also the leader of Barking and Dagenham council, then posed for pictures with activists and prospective Ilford South MP Jas Athwal on Saturday.
Labour member Matt Lismore took the photos and said he was “shocked” at the “tone deaf” actions.
Sam Holland, Tory candidate for Dagenham and Rainham, said Mr Rodwell should be suspended and called for him to “make a full apology”.
He told the Standard: “I am deeply shocked by these actions and what it says about Darren Rodwell’s judgment. This is offensive to so many residents across the borough.
"The people of Barking and Dagenham deserve better.”
Mr Holland has written to Sir Keir Starmer urging him to launch an investigation.

A Labour source said using the headstones to hang the sign was “clearly the wrong thing to do” and the party will be taking action.
Barking Abbey was established in the 7th century and was a royal monastery.
There are hundreds of gravestones and monuments in the grounds of the ruins and that of the Grade I-listed 13th century St Margaret's Church next door.
The banner has been removed.
Mr Rodwell has been contacted for comment.

Top BST trolling . Give yourselves a pat on the back.

How ironic given that you have trolled CLH twice tonight.
Nothing to say on the subject of the thread?

How ironic I hear you say.
If you could perhaps comment on the thread too or better still give me a clue what CLH is talking about.
As usual I don't have a clue apart from his references to another poster. Similar to your posts in that respect.
I must congratulate you tho. After all these years and lots of effort on your part you have nearly perfected the art of trolling and snide comments.
Well done. You must be very proud of that achievement. :unsure:
