Shabana Mahmood has won Birmingham Ladywood selection contest yesterday.

The Party has published the latest tranche of parliamentary selections, including Clare Short's seat Birmingham Ladywood. Ladywood will be selected by All-woman shortlist.

Clare Short, the former Secretary for International Development and controversial Labour backbench MP, has announced she's to stand down at the next General Election. But comments made to the Independent newspaper have got her into hot water, with the possibility that she could have the Labour whip withdrawn in Parliament.
