TO clarify my letter of July 10, since 2006 a total of six Labour councillors have stood down prematurely, thereby causing costly by-elections. Four have done so in just the past three years.

Now I learn that a seventh Labourite (Laurence Baxter) is set to do so and this on my own Risinghurst and Quarry patch.

The serenity of my summer is set to be shattered by Oxford Labour descending on my estate en masse. Cheers, Laurence Baxter.
