Len McCluskey is a constituent of Stephen Twigg's, it turns out.
Liverpool West Derby returned no less a figure than Sir David Maxwell Fyfe way back in the never-never. But since 1997, it has distinguished itself as an English seat by always placing the Conservative candidate fourth, with the Lib Dems and the Liberals fighting it out for second.
Steve Radford of the Liberal Party (and of No2EU - Yes to Democracy) came second in 1997 and in 2001, making this the only English constituency so to place a "minor" party. Its history in recent decades also features Eric Ogden and Bob Wareing. And now this.
Len McCluskey as a union-backed anti-Twigg candidate in 2015? Don't yet bet on it. But don't bet against it, either.

Radford's history of co-operation with the unions might be enough to keep him off the ballot this time. Then again, how about these results: McCluskey, Radford, Lib Dem, Twigg, UKIP, Tory? When do recall elections come in?
