The Conservatives will get to pick the date. It is possible they will pick the same day as the Scotland one (if it comes to that) thinking that one day of bad headlines is better than two days of bad headlines a couple of weeks apart If Labour fails to win both seats will Rishi be tempted to go to the polls sooner rather than later?

This is why I think it will be a Tory Hold. At this time Keir Starmer cannot be seen to be making electoral pacts. The Lib Dems will fancy their chances. However, if the Tory faithful sit on their hands and simply don't vote rather than switch allegiance then it could be a shock result.

My cousin used to buy singles play them and then give them to my brother and sister (One of these tracks was No.1when I was born) We had in our house Cinderella Rockerfeller, Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da and Lily the Pink I loved the fact that at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Concert the BBC camera man was obsessed with Rowan Williams and it was very clear when Paul McCartney was playing that he was word perfect on Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da and he also kept cutting back to him during Stevie Wonder playing Superstition

Well the last MRLP candidate really wasn't trying they didn't have a stupid made up name or anything However when your opponent is Nadine Dorres how do you try to make yourself look like the most unhinged candidate?

Most recent polling

Labour are the challengers here. Still expected to be a Tory hold unless there is concerted tactical voting

Unfortunately @Hell has nicked Giorgio Napolitano

Gary Puckett & The Union Gap – Young Girl maybe this would have been a better song for Rolf Harris.....

I stole Priscilla Pointer (sorry)

Caroline Lucas to stand down at the next election. Will the Green Party hold Brighton Pavillion without her?

I think I am going to start calling them Westlich

I have never heard either of those Against All Odds covers and I hope it remains that way. Just the thought of Westlife makes me cold with horror

No it is right he is here. There are other threads left here that probably have less chance of producing a corpse in a realistic time scale

Firstly they need to find a candidate who is not a certifiable nut-job (judging by the 2019 intake this is harder than it sounds), secondly they have to scour said candidates social media profiles for any times they have dressed as Hitler, been photographed in blackface or suggesting that working class children should be sent down mines. Then they have to draft leaflets and mind the smallest possible font that is actually legible to acknowledge that the candidate is actually a Conservative and not a sort of Green, Liberal or Monster Raving Loony that people would not be ashamed to vote for. All this takes time

Just looked up the actual votes and my local MP (Con) voted against the implementation of the standards committee recommendation So proud....

Let's hope its not a check out......

Less than a week after posting this list we are down to 14 How long will it be before Roy Hattersley is Lard to Rest?
