CON 6200
According to the English Democrats’ own website and facebook page, Paul Rogan is no longer standing, he is also not defending his seat that he won as a Conservative before defecting to the English Democrats. Apparently, there are no longer EDP candidates standing anywhere in the area. So the EDP seem to have lost one of their four defected councillors. Further evidence that the party, Doncaster aside, seems to be in meltdown?

‘[Clifton] would have been in Elland from 1885 to 1950′
Pete, according to Wikipedia, Clifton was in Spen Valley when that constituency was created in 1885, but does not specify for how long – is it correct, even?

Pete, according to Wikipedia Clifton was in Spen Valley when that constituency was created in 1885, but does not specify for how long – is it correct, even? We have discussed Wikipedia’s accuracy on more than one occasion…

Bernard Ingham I think stood here as a Labour council candidate, must have been before the 1970s.
I thought he stood in Leeds?
I think it was actually Hebden Bridge,
but you could be right.
He was from Hebden Bridge but acording to Wiki he contested Moortown for Labour in 1965
He didn’t actually get the Press Secretary job in May 1979, but towards the end of the year.
This MP has been arrested on suspicion of assault (against his adult son on Boxing Day).
I thought the police never got involved in domestics?
