Just googled to find out who my Tory candidate is, now that puce-faced oaf "Sir" Mike Penning is joining the many Tory MPs standing down. He is some young whippersnapper who can't spell his own name, called Jaymey McIvor. The local Tories don't seem to be doing much campaigning on hid behalf: maybe they've written Hemel off, and are concentrating their efforts on more winnable nearby seats..
In other news, yes, it probably is.
The seat I was in is no longer. It's not been redrawn, it's disappeared, it has ceased to be, it has shuffled off.... etc etc.
The bit I'm in has been folded into Glasgow East. The MP for the current Glasgow East seat is the SNP candidate this time. The SNP for my current seat, Alison Thewliss, was in the run off with him but lost, though they did get another redrawn seat to be a candidate in as 'sex pest' Patrick Grady the MP for that seat is moving on - for obvious reasons.
The day after the vote happened - beginning of last year, the MP David Linden came round canvassing his potential new constituents. I was impressed - first time been canvassed in 15 years, and first time by the MP or candidate in over 35 years
I suspect though he's toast. I would think it will be a Labour seat. Their candidate is a partner in a law firm. Doesn't appear to have much connection with the seat.
My vote will be dependent on the candidate's view on women's rights to sex based spaces.
