    Sheerman or Robinson - two very long standing names. Either are likely candidates - I thought Barry had been tipped to retire to allow DMili to come back too.

    I don’t know the seat or the MP but my understanding is that, unlike Oldham West and Royton, this is not natural UKIP territory.

    Islington North?
  • dr_spyndr_spyn Posts: 11,302
    During the summer, Bristol West's MP has had treatment for breast cancer, and the UKIP vote isn't particularly strong. It is possible that she is responding well to treatment, and that the by-election isn't in the West.

    Excluding Merseyside and inner city seats with large EM populations.

    One by-election possibility next year is St Helens South & Whiston where the new MP is facing a trial for assault.

    It will be very rare to not have a non-Labour safe seat by-election, they are the group with the oldest average age.

    On Syria, Cameron made a big political mistake:

    The £23 billion windfall that has arrived courtesy of the OBR implies that the extent of any Austerity required was significantly exaggerated throughout the last Parliament and that the electorate was misled – wilfully or otherwise – at the 2015 election. Surely that in itself should be an issue for Labour to make hay with?

    I turned the debate off about 90secs into his contribution. He's got such a whiny, self righteous student manner.

    I thought Angus Robertson did a good stint - he came across as an adult with a heavy weight on his shoulders.

    There could also be a by election. If she's found guilty her position could be untenable even if she doesn't receive a custodial sentence of more than 12 months.

    Coventry NW would be a good chance for the Tories to make a gain from Labour IMO. The sort of seat where Labour could lose votes to UKIP with the Tories holding steady.

    You mean the economy performing well under the conservatives is good news for labour?
    Its because the economy has been sustained rather than crucified because of excess austerity (as implied by labour) that it has been able to continue growing.

    Everyone supports her on that and no one but the SNP would demand a resignation for kicking an obnoxious YES campaigner in the balls.
    She's safe no matter what the verdict.

    I see there's a row brewing over Osborne's decision to help out his chums with large property companies.

    'What will fuel their anger is that large firms owning more than 15 properties are not expected to have to pay the higher charge.'

    If Labour manage to get their act into gear by 2020, an Osborne lead Tory party will have a fight on it's hands to stay in office. He's wound up a lot of natural Conservative voters.

    1982, Mitcham & Morden. But that was in the context of a hopelessly left-wing Labour Party and an insurgent third party splitting the vote.

    Interestingly, the current Mitcham and Morden Labour MP was one of those that went into writing to criticise Andrew Fisher, Corbyn-ista henchman. She now fears a Momentum surge to oust her. But she is powerful and would win a by-election as an Independent Labour candidate. The fall out would be fun though. Khan isn't that strong in Tooting. The Tory candidate is hard working and intelligent.

    Is in London after all.
    It's gentrifying rapidly. qv. Battersea in May - some people thought that would be close.

    Prices are up 6.69 per cent in the year to June, according to Knight Frank, and show little signs of tailing off just yet, given the changing demographic.

    The changes have been noted by local businessman Dan Watkins, who stood as the Conservative candidate for Tooting at the 2015 general election. He failed to defeat the incumbent, Labour’s Sadiq Khan, but Khan recently won his party’s nomination as London mayoral candidate for next summer’s election. If Khan wins, Watkins hopes to be elected in Tooting at the resulting by-election. This time, he thinks he may have a chance due to those demographic shifts.

    It is not just big companies that have but to let empires of 15 or more homes, but that is massively unfair. That totally weights the "game" in favour of these bigger players / individuals and against an individual who are just trying to supplement their pension with a buy-to-let flat. Surely if anything it should be the other way around?

    Maybe it should. It's pretty obvious who's been whining the most in cosy 'chats with chums' at Number 11.

    Big business always wins with Osborne. (See large scale Tax Avoidance by corporations, and the advantages given to large consulting firms over contractors for further reference).

    Prices are up 6.69 per cent in the year to June, according to Knight Frank, and show little signs of tailing off just yet, given the changing demographic.

    The changes have been noted by local businessman Dan Watkins, who stood as the Conservative candidate for Tooting at the 2015 general election. He failed to defeat the incumbent, Labour’s Sadiq Khan, but Khan recently won his party’s nomination as London mayoral candidate for next summer’s election. If Khan wins, Watkins hopes to be elected in Tooting at the resulting by-election. This time, he thinks he may have a chance due to those demographic shifts.

    The £23 billion windfall that has arrived courtesy of the OBR implies that the extent of any Austerity required was significantly exaggerated throughout the last Parliament and that the electorate was misled – wilfully or otherwise – at the 2015 election. Surely that in itself should be an issue for Labour to make hay with?

    You mean the economy performing well under the conservatives is good news for labour?
    Its because the economy has been sustained rather than crucified because of excess austerity (as implied by labour) that it has been able to continue growing.
    No - but that the need for further Austerity was far less than Osborne was suggesting last May. £23 billion does not appear out of thin air in just a few months. Labour and other critics can now reasonably say that Osborne cannot be relied upon to tell the truth. 'Dodgy' Osborne might have a ring to it.

    I've been looking at the age of MPs by party and it is quite interesting:

    Labour have 15 MPs over the age of 70 including 4 over the age of 80 (Kaufman, Skinner, Winnick and Flynn), while the Cons only have 8 MPs over 70 (Haselhurst is the oldest by some way at 78). Lab also has more MPs in their 60s (50 vs. 40 for the Cons). Unsurprisingly the SNP's MPs are the youngest with only 6 over 60.

    It suggests the Cons have been better at persuading some of the old guard to stand aside and reduces the probability of a by-election in a Con seat due to an MP passing away.

    It is not just big companies that have but to let empires of 15 or more homes, but that is massively unfair. That totally weights the "game" in favour of these bigger players / individuals and against an individual who are just trying to supplement their pension with a buy-to-let flat. Surely if anything it should be the other way around?

    No, I think a key goal is to encourage big providers to enter the market; currently there are very few. In principle pension funds would make excellent investors in rental property, as they need long-term, stable returns and are currently over-dependent on government bonds (very low returns) and to a lesser extent shares (volatile and risky). They would have the scale and organisational structures to be very good landlords, and could bring a of new investment to the market, thus making a significant contribution to improving housing supply. However, although there has been talk for quite a long time of pension funds entering this market, it hasn't happened on the scale which many people hoped for. It looks to me as though Osborne is having a serious go at making it more attractive.

    I canvass a lot in Tooting. Khan's vote held up at GE but Corbyn is losing a few votes for him now. Dan Watkins is hard working and bright. If Khan wins Mayoral (Christ, I hope not) then Dan would be favourite. Labour don't have any other politician who has presence. For 2020, if Corbyn in charge, Dan Watkins will have a great chance. Also, if boundary changes stay as they are Tooting jettisons 2 labour wards (Furzedown and Graveney I think) for 2 Tory wards (Balham and Bedford). Tooting would be likely Tory win.

    These forecasts are based on modelling - but the fact that £23billion can suddenly appear out of thin air a mere four and a half months on from the July Budget shows how dodgy they inherently are - as is Osborne for relying on them!

    And the fact the "channel" is only on in the evening and is something like 80-90% repeats. In a world with iplayer, Netflix, Twitch, it is a totally outdated vanity project. With iPlayer, there is far less reasons to need to screen repeats of a show multiple times a week, and plenty of opportunity to road test new projects either on BBC2 or iPlayer.

    If content is good, people find it. In a world with twitter etc, when something is good news spreads.

    It is happening in the US already, more and more online only channels or shows, more original content will appear on YouTube, Twitch, Netflix, etc. The idea that the family sits down every night to watch the big moving picture box in the corner of the living room is total outdated idea. Its tablets, mobile, pc, laptop.

    It's gentrifying rapidly. qv. Battersea in May - some people thought that would be close.

    Prices are up 6.69 per cent in the year to June, according to Knight Frank, and show little signs of tailing off just yet, given the changing demographic.

    The changes have been noted by local businessman Dan Watkins, who stood as the Conservative candidate for Tooting at the 2015 general election. He failed to defeat the incumbent, Labour’s Sadiq Khan, but Khan recently won his party’s nomination as London mayoral candidate for next summer’s election. If Khan wins, Watkins hopes to be elected in Tooting at the resulting by-election. This time, he thinks he may have a chance due to those demographic shifts.

    How'd you price it up?
    At the moment, 5/6 each. But who knows what lunacy McDonnell & Corbyn will perpetrate before June?
    Speaking to a Labour activist friend the other day, he had this doomsday scenario.

    After Labour are shellacked in London, Scotland, Wales and England next May, Corbyn decides the only reason Labour did so badly was because he wasn't sufficiently left wing enough and decides to move further to the left.
    Never underestimate the number of Labour supporters who will hold their nose and vote for Corbyn's party. Both Tory and Labour have hard core of 170 seats they will never lose. I reckon worst case scenario for a Corbyn led party is 4.5 swing against. 43 Tory, 27 Labour. In London that would mean 37 V 37. That's still good for Labour.

    The Labour front bench is pretty full at the moment, no repeat of the other day

    They are supporting Cameron, not Corbyn

    E4 have it about right IMO, enough rebellion/fun/being controversial. C5 for Big Brother and similar.

    BBC3 is the not particularly good answer to E4/ITV/C5.

    BBC4 is the real peak Guardian channel, and more in line with what the BBC should be doing.
    BBC3: Young, trans and looking for love

    BBC4: Colour - The spectrum of science.

    Might watch that Docu actually.
