This is an urban division covering the Purbrook, Widley and Crookhorn areas, sandwiched between the Portsmouth city boundary to the south, the A3(M) motorway to the east and Waterlooville town centre to the north; it includes much of Fort Purbrook, a nineteenth-century fort built for the defence of Portsmouth and never used in anger.

Elsewhere in Surrey, the Lib Dems also have a majority on Mole Valley council which is all-up this year with radical new ward boundaries; theres nothing in that councils recent results to suggest that a Conservative fightback is on. The Conservative candidate this time is Sanjay Modhwadia, who won the North Evington by-election last year; I wrote at the time that Modhwadia was a businessman who is campaigning for support for Leicesters textile industry, which made him a perfect fit for a ward which contains a large number of Leicesters textile factories and was one of the areas of the UK hardest-hit by the first COVID wave. The defending Conservative candidate is Paul McLain, who previously sat on the county council from 2009 to 2017 for the more marginal territory of Charlton Kings in Cheltenham and has represented part of the division on Tewkesbury council since 2019. Elsewhere in Staffordshire, over the last council term the Conservatives have gained a majority on Staffordshire Moorlands council through by-election and defection gains, but that majority is down to one seat 29 out of 56 after a double by-election in Biddulph North ward in January resulted in two Labour gains.

She was later chosen to present the Two Guys and a Girl Breakfast Show on Leicester Sound, which included a segment that saw her interview different celebrities in a jacuzzi. There are only six Rutland Conservative councillors left now; such is the disarray in the local party that they could not even find a candidate to defend a by-election last year in Oakham which the Lib Dems gained without a contest. Leicester is definitely one to watch, although you might want to watch it through your fingers if youre of a Labour persuasion. The people of unoccupied Ukraine are literally fighting for their right to live in a country that holds elections rather than stages election-type events. Further, there are no details about her family background and siblings.

Which might be embarrassing for the local MP thats Jeremy Hunt, the Chancellor of the Exchequer. This year Labour are only defending twelve seats plus by-election gains from the Greens (in Washington South) and from UKIP (in Redhill), and a repeat of last years results would see Labour gain the two other wards which voted UKIP in 2019, Ryhope (where the former UKIP councillor is now independent and is standing down) and St Annes (where the former UKIP councillor is now in the Conservatives and is seeking re-election as such).

Tigger. Hull council is completely surrounded on the landward side by the sprawling East Riding district, which returned a large Conservative majority in 2019: 49 seats against 8 independents, 8 Lib Dems and two seats for the Yorkshire Party.
