No Mandate Brown will shortly be getting his first test since the battering at the local elections last week when the Crewe & Nantwich by-election takes place on the 22nd.
Gwyneth Dunwoody held the seat for for Liebour for 25 years until she passed away a couple of weeks ago. She had held the seat since it was created in 1983. This should be a safe seat for Liebour but the situation is identical to that of Telford – David Wright has been the (Liebour) MP since the seat was created and the council has been controlled by Liebour since it was demerged from Shropshire County Council right up until last year when the Conswervatives pulled off what was previously thought of as an impossible task and beat Liebour. El Gordo is going to have a fight on his hands in Crewe & Nantwich.
The by-election will, naturally, see more candidates than is usual but that’s the nature of these unexpected by-elections. The Illiberal Dipshit candidate pulled out, the Conswervatives are looking strong and is looks like Liebour will be fielding Gwyneth Dunwoody’s daughter. Mike Nattrass MEP is standing for UKIP and Miss GB runner-up, Gemma Garrett, is standing for some new “Beautiful Britain” party or something like that.
