Its a strange one though, Manchester city council said staff are trained to recognise such matters and what to do if any concerns.

They said no such issues were identified or reported and asked why the observers didn't raise any concerns they had.

The observers said its not their job to raise concerns during the voting and don't usually issue a report until later down the line but decided to drop this just after 10pm

They have also since said they did alert the council during the day. So which is it? They can't say anything or they can?

Goodwin is still using the sectarian language this morning.

If it happened as much as is claimed it should have been evident to staff so if its proven then action of course needs to be taken.

I still cannot see that there was swathes of Muslim women desperate to vote for Matt Goodwin but instructed to vote Green instead.

Labour and the Tories have got involved and raised concerns but seem to have stopped short of throwing around accusations of cheating..Whos cheated exactly? Who are they accusing? The Green party?
