Genuinely unsure it's proper for a group of MPs, none of whom represent Morecambe (the closest MP on the list of signatories is 45 miles away), to use their offices to intervene in the situation and urge the sale of a football club to a group primarily because of the group's members' religion.

While, at this stage, it really is Panjab Warriors or bust for Morecambe, I wonder if these MPs might not come to regret rowing in behind an ownership group where significant questions about its intentions, transparency and competence remain.
STATEMENT Future of Morecambe Football Club We, the undersigned Sikh Members of Parliament, wish to express our sincere thanks to Prime Minister Rt Hon Keir Starmer MP, Lisa Nandy MP, and Lizzi Collinge MP for their continued leadership and support in raising the urgent situation at Morecambe Football Club. Their efforts, both in Parliament and locally, have brought national attention to an issue that has serious implications for the community, the club, and the wider footballing landscape. Their principled stance has been a source of reassurance for many, and we commend their commitment to ensuring that fairness and accountability prevail. At this time, Panjab Warriors, a Sikh led UK-based investment group, remain the most credible and community-focused buyer. They have fulfilled all regulatory requirements, including passing the English Football League's Owners' and Directors' Test, and have already injected significant interest-free funds into the club to keep it afloat during this prolonged and uncertain period. We believe the time has come for Bond Group and Jason Whittingham to act in the best interests of the club, its supporters, and the town. Every delay puts Morecambe FC at greater risk. The right thing to do now is to complete the sale to Panjab Warriors and allow the club to move forward under stable and responsible ownership. We also note that the support for Morecambe FC's future has been led entirely by Labour representatives, both locally and nationally. This unity of purpose reflects the values of accountability, community, and justice that lie at the heart of the Labour movement. We stand in full support of the people of Morecambe, the club's dedicated fanbase, and the prospective owners, Panjab Warriors, whose actions thus far have shown them to be the right custodians for the future. The longer this issue is dragged out, the more damage is done. It is time for resolution. It is time for action. Gurinder Singh Josan CBE, MP - Smethwick J…

I know there’s a lot going on, and it’s all a bit worrying, but the most important thing as far as I see it is this: we should ban drums at football matches. There, I’ve said it. Pile on if you must, but you know I’m right.
