Goldsmid By-Election: Thursday 23rd July

The Goldsmid by-election will be held on Thursday 23rd July - just as the school holidays are beginning. I think postal voters will be targeted hard by all the parties in this contest as a consequence.

Clearly buoyed by their success in the Euros, UKIP have declared that they'll be putting a candidate forward too - a charming fellow who has previous form in Brighton & Hove as a Tory councillor.

This just gets more and more interesting...
