the councillor who represented A Brentford in the Community is now in the Labour Party. I think he's moved to Hayes After his move, let's hope he dosent get some 'needle in his Hayes tack'

A record I got John Peel to play for me when he did a gig at Hull when I was at university there. |

David, you should note that: Line 9106 Salim Miah (C, Pinner South, 2006-2010) is the same person as Line 2588 S[alim] Chowdhury (C, Centenary, 2022-2026) At some point between the end of his term of office in May 2010 and unsuccessfully contesting Edgware ward in 2018, he changed his surname. I have emailed Cllr Chowdhury twice asking when the change happened, so that I can make appropriate adjustments and footnotes to my Harrow Elections web site, but have yet to receive a reply. I only became aware of this surname change last autumn, arising from some election literature, scanned and uploaded to my web site at www.harrow-elections.co.uk/2022-1/election-literature-and-images/ashton-etc-2022/ |

As far as I can tell, there have been only 2 post-1945 MPs with the surname Bailey (spelt in that fashion). They are the present Conservative MP for West Bromwich West, and his Labour predecessor.

In each of the last 3 Westminster parliaments, there has been a new Scottish MP called Thomson, but they haven't served together, as both of the first two did not attempt to defend their seats, and they are all unrelated. Michelle Thomson (Edinburgh W, SNP, 2015-17) lost her party's Whip, Ross Thomson (Aberdeen S, C, 2017-19) had allegations made against him, and the Chair of his local Conservative Association refused to sign his renomination papers; we will see how Richard Thomson (Gordon, SNP, 2019-) gets on.

To be precise, there is also Owen Thompson (SNP, Midlothian), so we do have Thomson and Thompson sitting together on the same benches |

Will Thomson, a long time member of Cities of London and Westminster CLP, used to explain the spelling of his surname as "No P - Presbyterian". |

The first 8 parliamentary by-elections in this parliament all had different parties in 3rd place.

If the Greens win Bristol Central and Brighton, Pavilion in the next election, they'd match the Communist Party of Great Britain's 1945 high-water mark of two seats.

that's not a fact, that's speculation about a future result, and a pretty random one at that.

If the Green party additionally won Norwich South, Sheffield Central, Oxford East and Stroud, they'd match the Crofter Party's 1886 high-water mark of six seats...

Which is in roughly the same category as "If Labour win South Holland and the Tories win Knowsley" The Conservative Party obviously will win South Holland & the Deepings (or whatever is the nearest equivalent on the new boundaries) at the next general election (because of the brilliant leadership of our charismatic and inspiring leader Rishi Sunak), but that wouldn’t make any difference to the number of Green MPs. |

Which is in roughly the same category as "If Labour win South Holland and the Tories win Knowsley" No it really isn't. A large majority of voters in the new Bristol Central seat are Labour-Green swing voters. The most recent result in Bristol West (which is less favourable for us than Bristol Central) had us on 24% - twice what Labour got in South Holland and the Deepings, and three times what the Tories got in Knowsley. It's still likely to be something of a stretch for us to win it, but it's not impossible. |

The new Bristol Central is pretty bohemian compared with many other parts of the city & probably contains most of the Greens' best parts of the present Bristol West. However, I don't expect them to win the seat at all. |

And no, Lab-Green swing voters are not "a large majority" of the new seat, they are a noticeable minority at best |
