A senior Conservative told me the candidates were as follows

MEP Robert Atkins son
Janet Storey (Clayton Councillor)
Karim MEP
A couple of other A-List outsiders from Cheshire/region and a southerner.

Could The Leader confirm I wonder if he sent the list back several times because his name was not on it?

Since the MP's scandal Mr Cameron has re-opened all lists but I still feel Councillor Britcliffe was excluded as past sell by date IMO and we may see an imposed candidate from outside.

Labour will decide in the next 8 weeks. A NEC decision is expected on the 8 July on the democratic process I believe. Then people will have a chance to put their names on the selection list which will go to each ward/branch to shortlist for interview. It should be pretty quick.
