Maybe. TBH I've always found her to be quite hectoring when on Question Time and other Politics programmes. I'm hoping we'll keep Brighton Pavilion Green.

Isn’t Eddie on a shortlist of proposed candidates ..as he was previously in Sheffield where it was unsuccessful.
At LEFT back?

I'm informed by someone apparently ITK that Izzard is a major donor to the Labour Party, believes s/he has a right to be selected as a candidate somewhere, has tried and failed before to get a nomination, has now bought a £1m+ house in Ditchling Road and announced s/he wants to be the candidate for Brighton Pavilion as one of the few winnable seats in the SE without a sitting Labour MP. It all leaves the local and regional parties with a bit of a selection headache.

I pray the Greens win again, the overriding reason for me is what a brilliant thing that in a FPTP system there’s a Green MP. And here.
Talking of arrogance, I’ve some funny anecdotes about Fanshawe from his time on local economic forums. As a result, he was generally thought of as a complete xxxx.

Your last warning, he’s not a he, instead a she, they, them, theirs, xe or xe etc. An expert will be along to ‘guide’ you.

I don't wish to appear rude, but I do wonder who's taking the piss out of who here ?

Has the Lib Dem candidate for Lewes been involved in anything horrifying as far as you know*?Says the person in Wales
Not that I’m bothered as I don’t live in Brighton
I was talking to my mum about who she'd vote for when I was last down there and she seemed to have a fit when I looked up who it was and told her, but this seemed to be based on something she'd read somewhere about a twitter spat that may or may not have involved him or somebody else with a similar name.
*For the sake of conversation, I'm not considering standing for parliament or being a Lib Dem to be intrinsically horrifying.

Quite
Who would say that? We often use they as a gender-neutral 3rd person pronoun but it'd be odd to use it for a specific, identified person. I can't think of a reason why you wouldn't use "isn't he" here.
As a teacher, I'd say this is bollocks.

Not as far as I know. James MaClearly is the leader of Lewes District Council and the LD candidate for the next electio.
He's not the leader of Lewes DC anymore, it's a Green/Labour Council.
I note he's a councilor for "Newhaven South", which is presumably the sea.
Edit: I am, more seriously, relieved to read you haven't heard anything overtly bad.
