So when is this by-election actually going to occur? Never. She's going to hang on until the next election.

If there is no by election, it will be interesting to see if all the campaigning that the Lib Dem’s and Labour do in By election mode get them a significantly better result at the General election.

Well, this seat will be largely changed, so it may have an effect in the new iteration of this name and the new Hitchin seat.

So when is this by-election actually going to occur? My prediction 1) wait for the results of the other three by-elections. Tories lose them all. 2) Boris Johnson leaves the Conservative Party, calling it unelectable, and declares his intention to stand as an independent in Mid Beds 3) Dorries resigns, paving the way for the return of the leader.

Then Nadine and Pfeffel will dine on mince, and slices of quince, which they will eat with a runcible spoon*. *knowing Pfeffel, he will owe the pig the shilling and the turkey will have been defrocked. Nadine will dance in the sand alone, by the light of the moon..the moon...

I'm told that there is a very large Labour presence in this constituency, although I myself haven't been in recent times.

Nah, still pretty sure she is timing her announcement to cause the maximum misery for Sunak.

Perhaps she'll time it for the party conference?

According to the Telegraph Opinium has a poll which shows Labour winning the seat. Numbers behind a paywall.
