Ted Jearrad's leaflet doesn't have the printer's name on it as far as I can see which, unless the law has been changed recently, is illegal.

That preview is interesting (and a bit more controversial than usual) as always but does contain one of the worst puns I have ever seen... What is the pun? I won't bother reading through the 46 million words in the whole article to find it otherwise.

I found the history of how Brixton became the centre of Britain's Caribbean-born population particularly fascinating.

Ted Jearrad was a Lib Dem parish councillor for the same ward many years ago, I understand. The aforementioned leaflet has got out but AFAIK nothing else has been done.
He also mentions two close colleagues; one is the late mother of the present Lib Dem leader of Portsmouth City Council, the other I'm fairly sure is the person from whose house the LD campaign for this by-election is being run from!

Correct: "the roof came crashing down on Sansome's political career.."

I assumed that referred to the bit of doggerel in the Charnwood piece which is full of bad puns- so Andrew didn't so much write it as quote it if that is the case.

Probably not what Andrew was intending, but there is some very useful insight into trans issues that has rather clarified my own thinking on the matter.
'Passability'. The pronouns we use in the freedom of our own minds should be able to made based on our own view of whether somebody is passable or not, not dictated by the recipient. This then fosters a sense of responsibility and effort, rather than the ludicrous and lazy 'I am X because I say I am X' philosophy which is in danger of reducing the entire issue to meaninglessness.

This being Jean Vernon-Jackson's old district ward (she of course being former chair of both New Forest District and Hampshire County Councils). Looks like the Indy is trying to piggy back on past associations. Adjacent Lymington Town is where Gerald Vernon-Jackson was first elected in the Lib Dem New Forest wave election of 1991...

Not bad for Labour actually. Birstall isn't usually much good for the party Liberal Democrats polled 32.3% in 2017 by-election with Labour 22.7%. Conservative then had 9% majority over LD whereas tonight it looks something like 15% over Labour. Green vote was 34 so Conservative share 47.1% v 32.6% for Labour

I could see Labour were putting in a lot of effort and so I think I might have done okay in the prediction comp for once. Charnwood was a Labour seat and council at one point.
