We have a few more by-elections called for August now with the 11th beginning to look like a busy night. In addition, the two new vacancies are in interesting wards. The Sparkbrook by-election in Birmingham is to be held following the resignation of Respect's leader Salma Yaqoob for health reasons and we've already been to Diffwys & Maenofferen since the 2010 General Election.

I may not be around on Thursday evening but fear not; a preview of the Old Catton by-election in Norfolk will be up on Wednesday and I'm going to set up a LiveBlog anyway due to popular demand. You just might have to find the result yourselves! (That is, if they are even counting on the night…)
