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.

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in my posts, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
