We are well and truly into by-election season at the moment with no less than 10 dates set in the past week. They include a few new vacancies, including one in Bude which would have been the closest we would have ever had to Plymouth if I was still based there!

There are currently 18 by-elections to cover in October with a further 16 waiting for a date. The two big Thursdays coming up are on 27th September (5) and 20th October (7). This week there is only one to look forward to, in Fenland (Cambridgeshire), but do drop by for the usual service.
