Which guy will win on bonfire night?

SPARKS are set to fly in Uppermill as the two High Court judges return on bonfire night to deliver their powder-keg election trial verdict.

The announcement will make November 5 a day to remember for Labour MP Phil Woolas and defeated Liberal Democrat Elwyn Watkins, as their political futures rest on the decision.

The village’s civic hall will once again play host to the proceedings, with the verdict due to be delivered at 10.30am. It was initially thought that Mr Justice Nigel Teare and Mr Justice Griffith Williams would return to Uppermill around mid-October, as was hinted at the end of the four-day hearing in September.

The historic case could see Labour MP Phil Woolas unseated, should the judges rule in favour of Elwyn Watkins’ petition. Public seats will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.
