If we are going with nationwide opinion polls, I really don't see Airdrie and Shotts turning Red anytime soon.

Partly up to her I suppose; there’s no direct precedent as the 2015 General Election meant that both Burnham and Rotheram simply didn’t stand at the GE. There were some arguing that Jarvis was required to resign immediately he was selected for South Yorkshire until the NEC decided it didn’t meet the two paid positions criteria to disqualify him as an MP. |

And the South Yorkshire Mayor does get a salary; it is just that the NEC decided Dan Jarvis was too valuable to lose from the House of Commons. |

Yes, mental error on the year sorry - now you know why I’ve never passed a maths exam! |

Both Elizabeth Peacock and Mike Wood were rather maverick characters who had deserved reputations as excellent constituency MPs. The last two MPs have been more mainstream and centrist |

Also a pretty dumb judgment on Jo Cox given that she was murdered before completing a year as an MP thereby giving little or no time to establish a political identity. |

Ngl, that will always amuse me about Coyle. And lets be honest, it couldn't happen to a nicer bloke.

Mike Wood was a Campaign Group member though, Brabin isn't that left wing. The CLP in the Spen Valley wards has a left wing reputation |

There is the precedent of Frank Dobson, who did not stand down as an MP before standing as Labour's day mayor. But I suppose he did come third. |
