The list had reached Fiona Jones, Piara Khabra [old age], John MacDougall, Ron Brown [age], Gwynneth Dunwoody, Rachel Squire, Terry Fields, Roger Stott, Bernie Grant and Tony Banks before I realized I'd have to leave off those who "legitimately" died of old age and its complications.Not quite dead but assaulted include Anne Moffat so far but it seems that Harriet Harman [see last post] is a candidate for this too.
The premise I was exploring was whether there seem to have been an inordinate number of Labour MPs in seats coming up for bielection in the past few years and if so, why?
Is it hazardous to be a Labour MP?

I'd guess it's because the average age of their MPs is rising. Back in 1997 a lot of Labour MPs came into office for the first time and for the most part they have remained to this day.
