So it was not to be Birmingham Hodge Hill or Reading East. Jim Marshall, the Labour MP for Leicester South, died unexpectedly today. There is a report with tributes here.
Meanwhile, David Boothroyd has posted last year's local election results in the constituency to the uk.politics.electoral news group:
"South consists of the whole of Aylestone, Eyres Monsell, Freemen, Knighton, Spinney Hills and Stoneygate, most of Castle and part of Latimer wards.
Including Castle but excluding Latimer the vote totals were:
L Dem 10,838 42.2
Lab 6,996 27.2
C 5,205 20.2
GP 1,925 7.5
BNP 462 1.8
Ind 278 1.1"
