I don’t doubt Tim’s seat is safe: he’s been a brilliant MP to almost everyone who has contacted them and, when he disagrees, he tells you so and why.
But it is interesting that Emily Benn will stand against him at the next election (BBC).
Emily’s blog and Tim’s website
Maybe I’m age prejudiced, but I now know what I didn’t know at seventeen and, frankly, I wouldn’t want seventeen-year-old me to represent anyone. Won’t Emily feel the same in eleven years?
And won’t she be too young if we have a snap-election? Is Emily to dictate Mr Brown’s decision!?

Will you not feel the same way in 11 years time when a 28 yr old stands for the seat?!
Its good to see younger people getting interested in politics, I would have thought standing for local office first would have been a better move. Good luck to her - let the people decide that she is too young.

Maybe Rogue, maybe.
But I was asking the public to decide she was too young
