yes. she was selected over a year ago. There was some controversy over Greg Marshall the previous candidate not being shortlisted.

The Labour candidate has resigned her Council seat in Lewisham. A sure sign of confidence.

Anybody who thinks that Faiza Shaheen's exclusion was uniquely harsh has clearly forgotten about Marshall's - completely indefensible. I hope that the person who got picked instead turns out to be worth it. |

Labour majority bigger than the Reform vote - I don't think the Tories will get this back in a hurry. In 1997, Labour won by 5k. This time it was more like 8k.

The number of UoN students in Beeston is slowly but surely increasing as the university continues to grow with some newish halls of residence there and a growing renting sector given Lenton across the boundary is pretty much saturated with students. There are also quite a few of the university’s staff in Beeston/Chilwell area, priced out of West Bridgford. I also understand Darren Henry was not particularly popular in the Beeston area at least, whether personally or related to the above I’m not sure. I haven’t got figures to hand but I’m almost certain that in 1997 the university was a fraction (I’d guess half) of the size that it is now, and back then the staff probably turned their noses at Beeston and would live in WB or Wollaton. Bearing in mind back then UoN liked to think it was just behind Oxbridge (top 5 or 10) and now is floating around in the top 20/30. A future boundary change (as was once proposed) that gerrymanders/concentrates the students/academics into a ‘Nottingham West and Beeston’ could make what’s left of Broxtowe (combined with Hucknall/south Ashfield) more competitive in an even year. |

It's just behind Oxford and Cambridge in terms of private school people and it might be higher because Oxbridge universities have flirted with (and had) quotas. |

To be precise, it was a single vote bigger than the Reform total  (I don't suppose there were any seats where the Labour and Con/Ref totals were identical) Also, is the Green candidate here - one Teresa Needham - the same person who was a prominent chess player in the 1980s? |

The Green candidate has lived in the area for '46 years' which includes her 'A' levels so as the chess player was born in 1965 the timeline could work I think. But I can't definitively link them. |

"Doctor" is not part of his name. Why was that permitted? |

"Doctor" is not part of his name. Why was that permit? He used the "usually known as" section. Full name John Anthony Doddy, usually known as Doctor John Doddy. |

The Lib Dem's in Sunderland do to same, as i understand it largely because it pisses off Labour, with perennial paper candidate "Nana Boddy" which is a reference to her being the grandmother of Lib Dem Cllr O'Brien. |
