The Conservative Association covering the seat is 'Corby and East Northamptonshire Conservative Association'. And probably the majority of Conservative voters are in the East Northamptonshire section.

The name of the constituency is Corby.
There is not, and never has been, a constituency called "Corby and East Northamptonshire".
Likewise "Hove and Portslade", "Richmond and North Kingston" and "Wallasey and Moreton".
This galloping inflation of the length of constituency names must be stopped.

I know that Michael Fabricant likes to refer to his constituency as "Lichfield & Burntwood" a lot of the time.

James Delingpole announces in this week's Spectator that he will run as an Independent candidate opposing windfarm construction.

James Delingpole (mad right wing nutter) to stand as anti Wind farm candidate, as far as we know no plans for one in Croby Town Centre or surrounding areas

Another Independent candidate: adamlotun.org.uk/Activist against cuts affecting the disabled, general anti-cuts and left-wing manifesto. I think we'd agree with about 90% of what he stands for. However, what is worrying is the potential profusion of like-minded candidates, as there are strong indications that the National Health Action Party are going to be standing also.

Isn't the Labour candidate offering most of those things?

The health action and anti-austerity candidates could make the election close if they do well. However I predict neither will take many votes and labour will still win by a decent margin.
The threats for taking votes off the conservatives are UKIP and James Delingpole. UKIP being the bigger threat of the two.

I read the SWP have offered Adam Lotun support. Just donated a quid of all your hard earned taxes to the campaign. :-)

He's an interesting candidate, and most of his manifesto would be quite easy for most people on the left to identify with. But there is the section on Justice which reads more like a right-wing stance.
The line in his biography about being "a family man who holds traditional values, some say old fashion ideals" seems to hint at social conservatism.

She looks good for her age but I can believe she is 60. I've often been gobsmacked at various women at work to hear that they're celebrating their 60th when I'd taken them to be much younger. I think 60 is the new 40 or something
