I assume one of the soulless freaks from the Labour candidate programme will be put forward and he/she will lose the seat.

At least the victory scenes definitely won't look like this:

Jack lived in my building, often had a chat with him in the corridor, he was alright.
There’s still a police presence outside his flat and a couple of press types trying to get quotes from anyone else who lives here.

Blair just said he was “hugely likeable”, which strikes me as a rather clever way of saying that you didn‘t like someone.

My sisters area. Despite the Erdington tories generally being quite vocal and hypocritical of the Birmingham Labour Council, I would imagine in the current climate Labour should win this easily. But then I'm often wrong with political stuff that I think is a dead cert!

Ed Davey's little orange mallet is rather flaccid this morning.

They're really not. Though I don't think this is as clean cut as it should be tbh. The last election was so close.

The tory candidate last time round is a local Councillor (and an absolute total bellend), and his flyers are always pushing the local links and things he's achieved for his local people.
If the Labour Party parachutes in some no-mark suit filler with no connection to Erdington, they're toast.

Absolutely agree with all of this.

Plus Penny Holbrook, a local labour councillor, also just passed away really young. Shock as popular Birmingham councillor dies suddenly
It's interesting times locally. As Zapp says, the local Tory councillor has a big following.

I was also about to start one, but for now,, let's just link to Jack Dromey's Guardian obituary -- pretty informative IMO.
He may have been right-wing in LP terms
, but at least he was an old-school Trade Union campaigner 
Here are the figures from 2019
His majority then was pretty small (3,601! Minus 7.7%), but I don't see either the Tories or even less the LibDems, gaining this??
.. apart from the possible Brexit Party factor helping the Tories more than Labour ...
Date of this byelection so far not known.

I'm going to stick my neck out here and say that Labour will absolutely stick some no-mark suit filler in, and still comfortably win (unless something changes drastically with national politics between now and the by-election)
