You needed the Deathlist to tell you that?!

Yeah no. Just a vote share reminder for Islington North (Corbyn's seat) result in 2017 Labour - 40,086 (73.0%) Conservative - 6,871 (12.5%) Liberal Democrat - 4,946 (9.0%) UKIP - 413 (0.8%) Independent - 208 (0.4%) MRLP - 106 (0.2%) Socialist - 21 (0.09%) Communist League - 7 (0.03%) ====== Labour Majority of 33,215 (60.5%) ====== Swing Required = 30.25% Lab to Con. Johnson is in realistic danger though should hold on to his seat. Uxbridge and South Ruislip Conservative - 23,716 (50.8%) Labour - 18,682 (40.0%) Lib Dem - 1,835 (3.9%) UKIP - 1,577 (3.4%) Green - 884 (1.9%) ===== Conservative Majority of 5,034 (10.8%) ===== Swing Required = 5.4% Lab to Con

On the political frailty note. If Corbyn wins the election we break the record for most Prime Ministers alive at once. It's stands at the current at 11-way tie.. 24 Jul 2019 - Present (Major, Blair, Brown, Cameron, May, Johnson) == 28 Nov 1990 - 24 May 1995 (Home, Wilson, Heath, Callaghan, Thatcher, Major) == 4 May 1979 - 29 Dec 1986 (MacMillan, Home, Wilson, Heath, Callaghan, Thatcher) == 5 Apr 1976 - 14 Jan 1977 (Eden, MacMillan, Home, Wilson, Heath, Callaghan) == 16 Oct 1964 - 24 Jan 1965 (Churchill, Attlee, Eden, MacMillan, Home, Wilson) == 22 Jan 1924 - 15 Feb 1928 (Roseberry, Balfour, Asquith, Lloyd George, Baldwin, MacDonald) == 22 May 1923 - 30 Oct 1923 (Roseberry, Balfour, Asquith, Lloyd George, Law, Baldwin) == 10 Dec 1834 - 15 Feb 1844 (Addington, Goedrich, Wellington, Grey, Melbourne, Peel) == 19 Dec 1783 - 10 Mar 1793 (Bute, Grafton, North, Shelburne, Portland, Pitt the Younger_ == 28 Jan 1770 - 13 Nov 1770 (Bute, G. Grenville, Rockingham, Pitt the Elder, Grafton, North) == 14 Oct 1768 - 17 Nov 1768 (Newcastle-upon Tyne, Bute, G. Grenville, Rockingham Pitt the Elder, Grafton) To be honest it would be helpful to the record book compilers........

Seen it in a copy of the Scottish Daily Mail someone was reading while on the school run! That's as much as I saw over their shoulder! My radar for hot DL tips is always switched on!

That's a turn up, a white middle-aged male getting a new gig on the BBC. No doubt Misses Chakrabati, Munchetti and both the Mabuse sisters will be in support to maintain balance.

Not necessarily Corbyn - he could lose his seat, after all. As could Johnson.

He's converted me from a radical atheist humanist in 7 minutes there. What a guy, I'm moving just to vote for him.

I'm hoping to find an Indonesian named Suzanne W. for my joker, because both categories have been reliable hits for me. I've still no idea what strategy I'll go for. This year, I tried to maximize the point value of my picks - only picking one name below 9 points (though could well be two by the month's end, with Bayh's 60th birthday looming). And with some of the chasing pack having only one less hit than me, but in need of three more to cause an upset, it seems to be paying off. If the lead does hold, I'll be keeping competitive, but perhaps a bit more relaxed about assembling a team than in years prior. We shall see.

In case anyone takes the Obvious Crap Joke seriously (see DL Forum 2003-19 TM), I have agreed that forum copper DCI Cat Of The Yard will have copies of my teams before the end of the year and before I see anyone elses, to reassure the paranoid among us. And in true Douglas Adams fan style, I aim to split Pan Breed's already weaker roster between Ark A and Ark B teams. Although I currently have a bit of a Curse of Pan Breed going on. One particular spot in my shortlist. Valerie Harper had it, died, so I went for Bobby Mugs. Who died, so I went for Chirac. Who died so I went for Kaplan. Who died, so I went for Brackers. Who was already bloody dead. Now Bob Dole has that spot, so you might want to say your farewells on this sort of form...

It can't be Manfred Stolpe because he is no guaranteed unique pick - he is in my current German theme team; since 2014 btw He will also be in my next, if he survives the year.

I'm leaving my shortlist till I see Spade Cooley and Death Impends emailed teams on Hogmanay. No wait, I mean, I'm working on something. Ahem.

Form Guide #9- Dame Olivia de Havilland SMOKING KILLS... If she vaped instead would be an option for Advent Avalanche 2025

Now posting just to give love that Death Duke has "not Blackpool" set as his profile location That's great! FTW

Yes, that is correct, except I spelled it Dilip Kumar.

You knew as soon as someone said something the Reaper be like ‘hold my beer’

Oh damn I’m just seeing this. RIP

My MP is S*****n M*****fe. Tory Brexiteer with a horrendous voting record. Pretty quiet normally, most probably because he's invariably got one of Boris Johnson's testicles in his gob. Absolute anal fissure of a man. Go on M*****fe, sue me for libel you cunt! EDIT: My legal advisor calmed me down and edited this for me.

Even Brexit Party HQ don't know who their fucking candidates are.

Ah, but November 4 1995 was one of the few days in history with four legit "DeathListy" names dying: 1995 – Gilles Deleuze, French philosopher and scholar (b. 1925) 1995 – Paul Eddington, English actor (b. 1927) 1995 – Yitzhak Rabin, Israeli general and politician, 5th Prime Minister of Israel, Nobel Peace Prize laureate (b. 1922) 1995 – Morrie Schwartz, American sociologist, author, and academic (b. 1916)

Guy on the right looks like he has just found his DDP joker!

I would have thought Brass would have been his signature role.

Fan social media groups (example below) claiming Pauline Sutcliffe has died. Sister of former Beatle Stuart Sutcliffe, she was the source of many of the scurrilous rumours about Stu and John Lennon, and wrote a controversial book on her brother.

Hey SC, I'm not seeing my team either! Thanks very much however!
