Labour certainly appear to be taking this byelection seriously. Peter Kyle's flip flops should be worth of 2% swing away from Labour. To be honest, I really doubt many voters will be aware to what you are referring, even the few who are familiar with Peter Kyle.

The woman is a nutter - an embarrassment to ‘Team Boris’. She's an embarrassment to the human species.

Nadine Dorries is more suited to a padded cell than a seat in the mother of Parliaments! Negative views from Conservatives are nothing new...

Holland-Lindsay is a councillor for the Leighton Linslade South ward (in Central Beds UA, but in SW Beds constituency). She is also the head of Public Affairs at the National Federation of Women's Institutes. Jas PalmAr was the Conservative PCC candidate for Bedfordshire in 2012 and the LD one in 2021. He was also a defeated candidate in Kempston Central and East last month (in Bedford UA and constituency). Henry Vann is a councillor for the De Parys ward (in Bedford UA and constituency). He is also the LD group leader on Bedford UA, following the mayoral defeat of the LD incumbent mayor.

I believe that he is an accomplished classical musician, and is the friend of a good friend who has a substantial gong for services to classical music. I haven't met him myself though

For some unclear reason, the LGBCE renamed Leighton Buzzard North in Leighton Linslade North, Leighton Buzzard South in Leighton Linslade South and Linslade in Leighton Linslade West.

For some unclear reason, the LGBCE renamed Leighton Buzzard North in Leighton Linslade North, Leighton Buzzard South in Leighton Linslade South and Linslade in Leighton Linslade West. The town council is Leighton-Linslade. Linslade was transferred to Bedfordshire from Buckinghamshire in 1965 (not sure why that was although it may be to do with the plans for Milton Keynes) and joined up with Leighton Buzzard, having previously been its own UDC. The locals are protective of their identity, and I've heard more than one comment about the name of the railway station: it's called Leighton Buzzard but is actually in Linslade. My assumption is that the LGBCE went along with the parish/town name for geographic reasons (I assume the wards aren't exclusively in one of the two parts) and because of local sentiment.
