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. |
