Birmingham Perry Barr  Khalid Mahmood  LAB Hold
Birmingham Selly Oak  Lynne Jones  LAB Hold

Morris is stepping down

[Ben.]

Birmingham Yardley  Estelle Morris  LAB Hold: She'll be singing her way to another term.

Morris isn’t running, hence the Seat will no doubt go to the Liberal Democrats who candidate is their leader on Brum City Council, John Hemming and he’ll proably win.

As for nearby Brum Hodge Hill look for Byrne will win it again easy, Nicola Davis is the LD candidate again and that won’t help the Liberals added to this Byrne has been one of the most active MPs in the country since it got elected making regular appearances in Parliament (78% attendance of Parliamentary debates) and at the same time managing to spend a lot of time in his own constituency.

Agree except for

Strange.  I live in the Midlands and I don't recognize any of these pols.  Of course, that's because it's the Midlands of South Carolina.
