I am off to a party at The Dude 's this evening, so blogging will be light until tomorrow. However, in the meantime and via Guido , I see that Gwyneth Dunwoody is bemoaning the fact that she has been unable to get a job . Tamsin Dunwoody, Labour’s unsuccessful candidate at the recent by-election caused by the death of her mother Gwyneth, tells Mandrake that she will not put her name forward for the...

my little poll has closed and Mr Salter is only just behind Mr Miliband in his bid for the party leadership once the men in white coats come to take Gordon away, but both are eclipsed by the late Gwyneth Dunwoody. What are you people like? Some interest over at Labour Home on Christopher "Should I stay or should I go?" Maskell and Mr Salter's activities in "persuading" him to stay.

now that Mr Salter has thrown his hat into the ring for the supposedly forthcoming Labour leadership challenge (see the poll on this blog, where Mr S is neck and neck with Hattie, though both are eclipsed by the late Gwyneth Dunwoody) there should be excitement to come. What about Miliband ? Personally I preferred his brother Steve in the 70s - remember "Black Panties and an Angel's Face"?

Details about Gwyneth Dunwoody's memorial service were released last week but I didn't feel that it was entirely appropriate to publish it on the blog amid the frenzied by-election campaign. In many ways the whole election thing should have waited, but that's another story. The snap shows Gwyneth and Maurice Jones opening the Eagle Bridge centre back in January, one of the occasions I was lucky enough...

From Saturday's Morning Star. GEORGE GALLOWAY urges the left inside and out of the Labour Party to get serious. EVEN after Crewe, it might not be too late to change course, but the time is slipping away fast. Like, I imagine, many a Star reader, I had my differences with Gwyneth Dunwoody. But she was recognisably part [...]

I WISH Louise Ellman good luck in her new post as chair of the Commons Transport Select Committee. The Liverpool Riverside MP will need it. The Labour whips tried to oust her predecessor, the late Gwyneth Dunwoody, for being too critical of government policy.

Today's column in the Newcastle Journal, focusing on the potential fallout from Crewe and Nantwich and the prospects for a Milburn leadership challenge. *** It would be fair to say that, during the course of her long parliamentary career, the former Crewe and Nantwich MP Gwyneth Dunwoody was not exactly a friend of New Labour. As chair of the Commons Transport Committee, she regularly lambasted the...

Yesterday Labour was humiliated in a by-election triggered by Gwyneth Dunwoody's death. And Labour’s former PM Tony Blair had a near-death experience. Add those two events together and what you get? In the next two years, the Labour Party had better look after its MPs very carefully. It wouldn't be very Labour, but they might [...]

In this (bbc news) we read of further difficulties for Mr Brown in his socialist empire *** of Britain. The election through the death of a respected mp show some of the problems that our un-normal leaders in the labour party don't understand. Labours first mistake in Gwyneth Dunwoody's old turf was to do the nepotism [...]

Recapping the first by-election thread? While the inquest on Crewe and Nantwich continues it is perhaps worth looking back to what people were saying about the by-election on Friday April 18th when news of Gwyneth Dunwoody's death became known. The thread is here and to me the most striking feature was the way those of a [...]

How do you turn a 7000 vote majority into a defeat? Ask Gordon Brown. The Crewe and Nantwich by-election is happening as I type, as a result of the sudden death of long standing hardworking Labour MP Gwyneth Dunwoody, a leftwing battleaxe who didn't put up with much nonsense (except her own socialist leanings) and was an MP since 1966 (sad to die while an MP at 77, I mean, why not have a life?). Crewe...

There are just four hours til polls close in today's by-election to decide who will succeed the formidable Gwyneth Dunwoody as MP for Crewe and Nantwich. Everyone’s expecting a solid Conservative victory, which would be their first by-election triumph against the incumbent party since 1982. The key question seems to be: how big will be [...]

LIVERPOOL MP Louise Ellman was handed one of Westminster’s toughest jobs yesterday, when she was picked to follow the formidable Gwyneth Dunwoody as its “transport champion”.
