Oh, dear, oh dear, oh dear.

Stuart MacLennan—who was the Labour Party candidate for the Moray—described his elderly prospective constituents as “bloody coffin-dodgers” and unleashed a flurry of comments attacking opposition politicians.

and the other one for getting caught on the phone,

The point is that if you have aspirations to control people (which all politicians have) it takes a little bit of work. The main thing to concentrate on is "Don't screw up publicly". I mean, it's not that hard to know when to keep your mouth shut, not to drink and drive and not to slag off your constituents. Frankly, if they can't manage that, I don't want them ruling me.

Labour's Twitter tsar Kerry McCarthy has been reported to the police after she revealed postal vote figures online in a potential breach of election laws.

Another one bites the dust....


Addendum:

"According to section 66A of the Representation of the People Act, publishing the details of a count can lead to a fine or a prison sentence of up to six months."

...or, more likely, a very friendly ticking-off in this case.
