Reports are that Gill Furniss has won the Labour selection. I think it's official  Indeed, but my Twitter is being temperamental tonight and keeps logging me out, then refusing to log me in again; am currently on my third reset password since 10 o'clock, so am slow discovering anything! |

She follows in the footsteps of Helen McElhone and Irene Adams in succeeding their late husbands into the Commons.

Now we're just waiting for the Tories and UKIP to declare their candidates (plus Yorkshire First, MRLP and the other minor parties that will inevitably stand).

To paraphrase Lloyd Bentsen, this is no Bradford West.

Anyone want to throw their hat into the ring? linkI'm sure you'll be gutted to know that ship has sailed. Yorkshire First candidate announcement (which I'm sure VoteUK has been waiting with baited breath for!) in the next day or so. |

A relatively-cliche free statement other than "the enormous potential of people in Yorkshire". Anyone using this phrase should be forced to say which region's people do not have potential. |

It's possible to play around what you require in a regionalist way. Something along: "People in London have less potential as most of it is already transformed in opportunities and actions, due to the Central government and the private sector investing more in unleashing that potential." |

Scousers You cannot say that they have no potential of any kind, but of course potential may not necessarily be a positive thing. For example you might say that Scousers are potential criminals (and might further observe that they have been very successful at realising their potential) |
