Is this Dude's second expenses scalp? Or have Joe, Louise Ellman and Luciana finally managed to push him out.
His free thinking and his statesman like stand against New Labour Carpet Baggers won him many enemies on his own side, but can he really be expected to go quietly?
And who will succeed him? As Dude predicted, this was always a better seat for Steve Rotherham to throw his hat in for. But will he get his chance?
Will it be another all women shortlist? Does Luciana have a sister? Perhaps Steve needs to raise funds for a trip to Amsterdam. A quick operation could have him seriously in the running again!
Alternatively, it is so close to the election now that the NEC will impose a candidate. Nice majority, little work involved, so a great opportunity for another carpet bagger.
How about Mrs Blair, or perhaps this is where Peter Mandelson plans to make his much talked about come back, in preparation for a leadership bid after the election.

What about Jane loyal sidekick Ros Gladden? Apparently she has been trying to get selected for Wigan. If Labour go for all-women she would surely be favourite.
well why was she brushed over for Wavertree, by her good friend Jane? And why was she rejected for West Derby? I suspect she now wants to stand somewhere where her militant connections won't be an issue.
Oh I do so hope that Labour has the courage and vision to decide upon an all woman shortlist. We have to grasp the bull by the horns and do everything we can to advance the cause of socialist principles and policies as determined by the party's progressive thinkers. The future is female. Let Mother Earth re-assert herself.
Greater love hath no man than he lays down his friends for his life.
