Some candidates emerge

The BBC website lists four candidates so far declared in Nottingham East:

• Sam Boote (Liberal Democrat)
• Ben Hoare (Green)
• Ewan Lamont (Conservative)
• Patricia Wolfe (UKIP)

Meanwhile, The Nottingham Evening Post website at 0700 was reporting that the Labour NEC were going to announce their shortlist today. Well, it's nearly 2030 and there's no announcement on the NEP website. There was some coverage of the process in the Independent on Sunday that might explain the delay.

Nationally, Labour have released their manifesto which seems to be about "steady as she goes". I'm sure we'll hear a lot from the others once they have a chance to go through it with a fine tooth comb...

And still only the tory boy's leaflet through the door.
