Police and Crime Commissioners – Labour’s candidates

The headline selections are John Prescott’s selection in Humberside – a return to frontline politics, but if you follow him on Twitter it feels like he was never away – and Alun Michael’s selection in South Wales, which as he is a sitting MP, will trigger a November by-election in his Cardiff South and Penarth constituency.

Alun’s son Tal has also been selected as a candidate in North Wales.
