Original Note:
The 1983 Representation of the People Act (S106, P5) states publishing 'a false statement of a candidate’s withdrawal for the purpose of... procuring the election of another candidate' is an illegal practice. 'Not contesting' suggests Labour have withdrawn which is not true. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1983/2/section/106?view=plain
