The correct candidates for the Malvern Hills DC Teme Valley ward

Andrew Dolan (UKIP)
Caroline Palethorpe (Conservative)
Daniel Walton (Labour)

[The Bishop]

Yes, the supposed Labour candidate in Newham looks oddly familiar from last week's contests

"Meole - Shropshire UA - Mike Owen (Conservative) resigned to spend time with his family."

Is this a euphemism...

Having some problems with the links to South Kesteven, hopefully at least one of them will work for you.

No clue what happened, sorry. It was right at some point.

Very oddly the lists have always shown correctly on my iPhone; I was wondering if Ms Oakeshott in Boleyn Ward was a relative of Lord Matthew and daughter Isabel of "piggate" infamy.

[Pete Whitehead]

Isabel isn't the daughter of that twat

They're third cousins.

Stan Mason, the former Principal of Glasgow Caledonian University was accused of nepotism having secured academic jobs for two sons and a management role at the University Health Club for his (unqualified)!daughter-in-law. He eventually resigned to so he could spend less time with his family.

[Pete Whitehead]

A third cousin is such a meaningless relationship, only someone from such an inbred upper-class background as champagne socialists like Matthew Oakeshott would even know who their third cousin is

My bad, misread her Wikipedia page; perils of delaying getting the inevitable bifocals I'm afraid.

Third cousin is a stranger-marriage in Oldham.

Erm, not quite. My great nephews were recently playing with my cousins' grandkids at a family party. You couldn't get less inbred or upper-class than us.

The absence of the CPA in Newham tells a story of continuing decline in the area...

Although I notice that the independant has been endorsed by the Christian Party.

[Davıd Boothroyd]

The Independent was a Christian Party candidate for the European Parliament in 2009.
