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.

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."

Furry...and possibly with sharp teeth?

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.

Doubtful - unless the residents of Dulwich Village vote differently in general elesctions to how they vote in local council elections.

    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
    • I would also like to add my recommendation for James.  I had taken four names of electricians from the forum - in the order I had read the reviews.  First three no response - even days later. I phoned James this morning. He answered, gave me a time, stuck to it, messaged again 15 mins before arrival.  He fixed my problem on the spot.  Sensible charge out fee. Perfect service.  
    • Most recent polls for the next election suggest it will be a hung parliament, with Reform the largest party by a fair margin. But that is predicated on Reform finding around 300 candidates who are actually electable. Given the number of Reform council candidates who have had to drop out prior to or after the local elections, does that seem likely? Social media is pretty unforgiving when it comes to finding skeletons in cupboards; a retweet or a like seems enough to scupper political ambitions. A few may defect from other parties, but do you think the electorate would really vote for so many brand new MPs from a newish party?  I'm not so sure.
