And it's been a while since Greg announced he was standing down and Labour haven't got a candidate yet either!
Presumably it's been left to the last minute because you can't choose a candidate until you know when an election is. If a candidate had been chosen five years all sorts of things could have happened which might have soured the choice (who would Labour's choice have been five years ago if Greg had stood down then? - pretty sure it wouldn't be the person chosen now).
I am very keen to see who both candidates are and who pitches up as an independent - you never know the biggest surprises might be there!
