Now that we no longer have a Labour candidate (due to idiot behaviour) who are we supposed to vote for?
I honestly feel disenfranchised and therefore very angry. |  | | |  |

Vote Green. |  |

Well the former Labour guy is still going to be on the ballot, and were he to win (less likely now) I would wager (lol) he would eventually be allowed back into the fold. |  |

Possibly but his chance of winning now will be the square root of nothing. | | | |

Why can't Labour field an alternative candidate to stand against him ? |  | | |

It's too late to register anyone else for the ballot. Same applies to the constituencies where Conservative candidates have been suspended. | |

They have also retutned a 100K donation he made to the party, which seems an odd thing for a candidate, particularly a labour candidate to have done in the first place, almost like he was buying himself a candiidacy. |  |

Vote Green. |
The Greens do have a real foothold in mid Suffolk. Worth voting for them as the Labour candidate has proved himself unfit. | | | |

Don’t blame you. I mean, I’d vote Green instead, but Lab had an outside chance of winning the seat, which the Greens don’t.
In a way, this seems worse than the Tories betting on the election date based on inside info.
Still, at least at least it’s one less PR “expert”/lobbyist in the party:

Have you seen the policies of the Green party? If you have I am surprised anyone with sense would even consider voting for them.
They are against economic growth
They have committed to borrow £80 billion more annually
They will disband the armed services and replace them with a peace core
That's just the tip of the iceberg......... | | | |

What a great time to be a North Ipswich and Central Suffolk voter your choices are:
Conservates
A disgraced former Labour candidate
Lib dems
Green
Nigel Farage
It's like being asked if you want a kick in the head or the gonads ...... | | | |

There was a story going around that Tory candidates Father also made donations.
Really don’t understand why LibDem candidate shouldn’t benefit. | |

Yes I think there would soon be plenty of buyers remorse if the Greens ever got any actual power. I believe when all parties spending commitments were analysed, their budget had the biggest black hole, closely followed by Reform. | |

Analysed by whom?
The Greens had the most public spending; that’s the not the same thing as a “black hole”. That’s just sensible. | | | |

Public spending without a clear explanation of where they find the money. Hence the black hole. All the parties have been particularly guilty of it in this election - whether it's unfunded spending promises, or tax cuts. | |

OK, I’ll assume you’re referring to the IFS. Here’s a summary of their thoughts on the Green Party’s manifesto:
https://ifs.org.uk/articles/green-party-manifesto-reaction
They don’t agree with some of their tax increases, but acknowledge that at least they do suggest ways in which they’ll fund spending. This is hardly the same as Reform claiminbg they’ll increase spending through “efficiency savings”.
Their reaction to Labour’s plans is more critical:
