“Jayne Innes has now lost two different Labour-held seats in two elections. How many other candidates can claim this?”
Sue Hayman
2010 Halesowen and Rowley Regis
2005 Preseli Pembrokeshire

No
I wasn’t implying that. It’s just poor fortune.
To be fair Sue Hayman was contesting two very marginal seats – I wonder whether it will be third time lucky
