What follows is an inventory of candidates and supporters which – given the multiplicity of candidates, the obscurity of the timetable, the number of sources and the mutability of “probably the most subtle citizens on the planet” – shall be ceaselessly up to date and amended.
We title under as candidates all these recognized to us who’ve both declared that they intend to face or have steered that they might achieve this, both immediately or not directly.
The date towards the names of supporters document after we made the entry on this weblog – not when the MP in query made a press release.
