prussianblue 1,025 Posted May 27 Sugar is too busy finding his next business partner from among Britain's brightest business brains. Does Archer still live in that hideous block of flats just upriver from Westminster? He could pop in during his lunch break if he wanted to retain his seat.

Laing has cancer, Churchill at least did in the past. Worth keeping an eye on both. Kevan Jones who is stepping down due to treatment for an ongoing health issue which sounds slightly ominous is another one to keep an eye on. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don’t think she is unwell to the extent that we should think she might be a DDP Hit next year through - she has been out campaigning in Colchester (Labour have pared Safe no hope seats with target seats) per her Twitter feed.

Parliament dissolves at midnight so a lot of MPs will just be getting their formal letters uploaded into the public domain. There's a list of all 130 retiring MPs on Wiki here. It will be 132 if Diane Abbott does indeed retire and if Jamie Wallis fails to find a seat in England (he said he doesn't want to stand in Wales again).
