By-elections in Corby, Manchester and Cardiff

Although the Police & Crime Commissioners will undoubtedly dominate the news today, there are three by-elections being contested at the same time.

Margot Parker is UKIP's candidate for the Corby & East Northants by-election, made vacant by the resignation of Tory pin-up girl, Louise Mensch to spend more time with her family.  Barring a last gasp effort by the Tory faithful it is very likely that UKIP will upset the apple cart with this by-election.

Cllr Chris Cassidy is also contesting a council by-election for Manchester Central whilst Simon Zeigler is contesting Cardiff South & Penarth.

Good luck to everyone involved!
