After breaking down in Strensham services earlier today, I've now arrived in Manchester, so tomorrow I'll be helping the campaign team with some extra local knowledge.
I'll report back on what else I see activity wise whilst I'm around the constituency.

Yes, but Left Futures always see a stitch-up.

Labour hopefuls should send CV by 10 AM at Monday 20th. Interviews will take place on January 22th. I guess shortlist will emerge on 22th evening. Manchester Evening News quoting "it is believed" and "sources close" to say: *Polling day likely to be 13 February For Labour - "The current front-runner appears to be Manchester council’s culture chief, Rosa Battle. The councillor, who lives in Baguley, has run for selection before and is ambitious to reach Westminster. Meanwhile Mike Kane, once aide to former minister and Tameside MP James Purnell, is also understood to be interested, along with Fallowfield councillor Mike Amesbury" Battle and Amesbury were on Manchester Central shortlist. Isn't Amesbury more likely to (eventually) succeed Gerald Kaufman? |

Given how messy that one is going to be when it evantually happens, he might have decided to chance his arm elsewhere. |

Apparently Kaufman is dead set against Amesbury succeeding him, though that may or may not make any difference... |

Date for Wythenshawe and Sale East reported to have been set at Thursday 13 February.
No writ was moved today, though.

Didn't see much today around the constituency apart from the tribute leaflet put out by Labour. UKIP candidate will be revealed on Thursday.

Back in 2010 when I was a paper candidate for a council seat, the Tory parliamentary candidate was Janet Clowes- a nice woman, and a good campaigner. But- not sure she'd be back for a by-election, and she was...let's say...a bit posh for this seat, I think. Although had a common touch. I suspect the Tory candidate won't be a local councillor.
Any Libs here know who will be selected for them? Eakins again maybe? I've been gone nearly two years now and am a bit out of touch.

Manchester Evening News reported that Mike Amesbury didn't apply to Labour selection. Other than previously discussed Kane and Battle, they also mention Cllr Suzannah Reeves (who represents Old Moat in Minchester Withington) and Cllr Andrew Western (Priory ward in Trafford).
