Is it me, or does there seem to be a high number of Labour MP's becoming very ill or dying over the past 12 months?

No, I think I also mooted that in the second post on this thread

[RichUK]

Yes, but you merely 'mooted' rather than stated.

Which means by-elections and a chance at reducing Tony B Liar's majority - so it's not all bad!

But Tony Banks is in fact Lord Stratford and therefore sits in the other place. So ne election if he does pass away.

Again don;t like him myself, but at least he has an opinion and says it which means he aint bad!
