Bic Basher Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 On the Sunday Politics show, one of the political journalists reported that Labour want Dame Tessa Jowell to run for London Mayor at the next election in preference to Tooting's Sadiq Khan.If this happens, it's very likely that she'll resign her parliamentary seat here, which would lead to a new Labour MP here, although it could become a high-profile seat if Labour put in a name.

buddug Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 She'll never become mayor of London. She's married to a man who's been convicted twice of accepting a bribe to commit perjury in an Italian court. It was finally overturned because his third appeal proceedings ran out of time. As the Daily Mail reported on 18 Sept last year: "She was dragged into her husband?s controversial financial affairs in 2006 when it emerged that she had signed papers for a loan secured on their London home ? which was subsequently paid off with the help of the alleged bribe."

Lord Danny Poppins Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Hope this is the beginning of a transition to a safe Tory seat. Can't come soon enough.

davidh Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 tessa is in her sixties. she has left front bench politics. a term as london mayor is a reasonable next step. sadiq khan would, I think, have his eyes on a cabinet post if labour win the next election which seem likely at the moment.

uncleglen Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 A safe Tory seat? Won't happen- all the medics who live in the Village and send their kids to the private schools always vote Labour for a start- can't imagine how enough votes could ensure a Tory MP next time. And as for the Lib-Dems- mansion tax, heirloom tax.... tantamount to Communism. Nobody is interested in doing what's right for the realm any more.
