CLP (Constituency Labour Party) nominations are a largely meaningless ritual but, absent polling, they do suggest who's likely to win because they show who the (most engaged) members are backing.

At time of writing, Lucy Powell is on 27 and Bridget Phillipson on 14, which suggests that the conventional wisdom (also my view) is correct and that Powell will cruise to victory.

Fun(?) fact, her surname is pronounced 'pole'.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both [email protected] and [email protected] .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
