He's no spring chicken either, and turned 80 this year, so is the same age as Sheerman. I wonder where the highest combined/average age of the top two candidates might be? This must be a contender, surely. Still, Barry Sheerman is in a better position than he was in 2010, a slightly higher majority if anything, though back then there was an evenly split opposition between Con/LD.

I wouldn't be surprised if this could only be rivalled by some US Senate/House races, just seeing how old some of their prominent politicians are.

The revised proposals of the Boundary Commission bring in Crosland Moor & Netherton ward from Colne Valley, a usually Labour voting area which they will miss in that constituency. They also remove the outlying Kirkheaton area in Dalton ward, but the rest of the ward remains in this constituency. This will make this constituency a little safer for Labour.
