Indeed! Though a good local BME candidate may tick both boxes....its just given the disgraceful Tory campaign against Sadiq I wonder if the local party might feel disposed to select a BME candidate. It's not as if we are exactly over represented in that regard. Unlike Battersea, the CLP is very white , middle class woman dominated. The type who are paid quite a lot to do something or other, but you are not sure what on Lambeth Council or a charity. Only Wandsworth Labour EM Cllr is in North Battersea, and although a pleasant individual, is not really a prospective MP. The candidate chosen is mixed heritage Polish-Pakistani |

I am only leaning to say a Conservative Gain if they pick a good candidate and they run a good campaign.

Using the 2014 local election results, this is an extrapolation of how each ward might have voted at the general election:
Bedford: Con 3417, Lab 3455, LD 279, UKIP 188, Green 333
Earlsfield: Con 3903, Lab 3351, LD 295, UKIP 279, Green 353
Furzedown: Con 1996, Lab 5536, LD 215, UKIP 234, Green 263
Graveney: Con 1738, Lab 4701, LD 295, UKIP 192, Green 307
Nightingale: Con 3827, Lab 2123, LD 375, UKIP 165, Green 353
Tooting: Con 2855, Lab 4462, LD 306, UKIP 226, Green 308
Wandsworth Common: Con 4685, Lab 1635, LD 342, UKIP 253, Green 284

I have slightly different figures, using the 2012 GLA results as adjusted for postals:
Bedford: C 3,486, Lab 3,301, L Dem 394, GP 352, UKIP 181.
Earlsfield: C 3,962, Lab 2,920, L Dem 317, GP 300, UKIP 261.
Furzedown: Lab 4,917, C 2,052, GP 322, UKIP 258, L Dem 225.
Graveney: Lab 4,547, C 1,624, GP 325, L Dem 261, UKIP 154.
Nightingale: C 3,978, Lab 2,630, GP 366, L Dem 357, UKIP 245.
Tooting: Lab 4,972, C 1,999, GP 267, L Dem 247, UKIP 171.
Wandsworth Common: C 5,319, Lab 1,975, L Dem 306, UKIP 268, GP 266.

There was of course a by election in Earlsfield ward on Ge day. Rather closer to David's results than Andys. David does seem to have underestimated that wards turnout though.

Think you will save your deposit? Given the 15% we got in 2010, and 20% in 2005, I think that's entirely possible  |

re: the picture of her chatting to Corbyn: how *DO* those shoes stay on her feet? What is it about women's shoes that the prime directive is to remove as much as possible of the actual functionality of shoe-ness as possible, getting as close to making them impossible as possible for them to actually function as shoes as possible? |
