Derek Hatton: Ex-Liverpool politician reapplies for Labour membership per BBC News

'Derek Hatton has applied to rejoin the Labour Party, 33 years after being expelled by then-leader Neil Kinnock.

The 70-year-old former deputy leader of Liverpool City Council, was booted out for belonging to Militant Tendency.

During a bitter war with both Margaret Thatcher's government and the Labour leadership, he set an illegal budget and sent redundancy notices out by taxi to thousands of council workers.

The Labour Party looks likely to accept the application.'
