Good job. Surely Conservative resigned in Wimbledon Park though, or had they defected first?

How on earth do Labour hold the Wimbeldon Park seat? Are the figures wrong, or was there a defection?

The seat was vacated by Tariq Ahmad, Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon, who was a Conservative - and is now a Conservative Peer.

From the Vote Clegg, Get Clegg Facebook group,
Vote Clegg, Get Clegg wrote: I have been delivering leaflets in the Wimbledon Park by election. One chap came out of his house, tore it up, threw it at me and said he would never vote for us because we liked Human Rights, the EU and immigrants. I congratulated him on his knowledge of Lib Dem policy. This seemed to annoy him .

Good job. Surely Conservative resigned in Wimbledon Park though, or had they defected first? Labour candidate in Wimbledon Park is Louise Deegan. Ann is her middle name. Richmond Crowhurst and Dave Busby both stood in this ward before in 2010, getting 349 and 1548 votes respectively. |

Does someone somewhere have a list of all the casual vacancies that are occurring in councils that actually have elections this May? I'm aware of some which are creating double (in one case triple) vacancies in wards which are up anyway, but I assume there may be some in those councils which elect by thirds but where not all wards are normally up. I am working on some tables for all the seats up this May but want to separate out those which are outside the normal cycle.

Thanks> it was particularly those in councils which do have elections but where those wards would not normally be up so looks like just Brentwood, Craven, South Lakeland and Stroud. Very helpful

Ex MP’s shock at dog attack
Joan Humble
By Lisa Ettridge
Published on Wednesday 25 April 2012 14:08
A FORMER Blackpool MP today spoke of her horror after a dog bit off the top of her finger as she posted a leaflet.
Joan Humble, the former MP for Blackpool North and Fleetwood, is now recovering at her home after spending two nights in hospital following the attack.
She was delivering leaflets with Labour candidate John Jones on Saturday when the dog struck as she put her hand through a letter box on Harrison Street close to Central Drive.
The 61-year-old told The Gazette: “It has been a horrible shock, I still don’t actually know how much of my finger I have lost as I can’t bear to look.
“I broke my own rule of never putting my hand through a letter box but I never imagined this would happen.
“I went to push the leaflet through and as I did, I felt this incredible pain.
“I tried to pull my hand back but the dog was gripping it, when I did get my hand free, I noticed the end of my ring finger wasn’t there.”
Colleagues quickly rushed Mrs Humble to Blackpool Victoria Hospital. She was given antibiotics through a drip in a bid to curb infection.
X-rays revealed the bone was fractured in the attack so she had to undergo surgery to remove the fractured part and sew the wound over.
Mrs Humble added: “The strange thing was, there was nothing to warn me a dog was on the other side of the door.
“There was no sound, no barking and the door was solid. I only knew it was there when it was too late.
“You would have thought there was a sign warning people at least, it could have been anyone putting a fast food leaflet through or a charity bag through that door.
“The saddest part is doctors had to cut off my wedding ring, I’ve worn it for 40 years as I’ve just celebrated my ruby wedding anniversary this year.”
Police have been informed about the incident but no one was in at the house when officers visited the property.
Mrs Humble stepped down as an MP in 2010.
She was campaigning on behalf of Mr Jones who is standing as a candidate in Blackpool Council’s Bloomfield ward by-election."

I once gave up the whole two week Easter holiday to leaflet for a friend. I was bitten - a right nasty nip, abused, taunted, leaflets ripped up in front of me, sarky comments...never, never, never again. My 'reward' was a ticket to the count, which lasted longer than a General Election...ZZzzzzz....Madame Returning Officer was a right bitch. Think Hattie Jacques, Edith Evans and Bessie Braddock rolled into one. It was her count & we were jolly well going to stay there to the bitter end and be quiet. She took great pride in straightening the ballot papers in her trays except she had red label for Tory and blue label for Labour!
One of the other agents had secreted a radio. She didn't catch him despite her best efforts. All of Leeds, Bradford and Calderdale had completed their counts before the dragon rose in all her splendour to deliver the result. You'd think that the election was being held for her.
I delivered far more leaflets than my mate received but the best man won.
Back to the dog. My heart goes to Joan Humble.
