With the election completed in the United States, I have now returned to England. Washminster will be returning to a more predictable publication schedule. My activities in elections will however be continuing for a few more days. Thursday will see a parliamentary by-election in Corby. I used to live in Northamptonshire and the constituency is not very far from my current home. The Labour Candidate is Andy Sawford, son of Phil Sawford - the former MP for neighbouring Kettering. Details of the by-election and its many candidates can be found at

Thursday also sees elections across England for the newly created Police and Crime Commissioners. There is an informative website about these elections at

Today sees the annual speech by the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs at the Lord Mayor's Banquet.
