We still don’t have a confirmed election day for the South Shields By-election (although we understand early May is most likely), but the party has now announced the timetable for the selection process, which is as follows:
- Deadline for applications: 10am, Friday April 5th
- NEC shortlisting: Saturday April 6th
- Constituency selection meeting: Wednesday 10th April
We’ll be covering the runners and riders for the seat in the next few days. If you know someone who is standing – email us.
