Followers of elections may recall Ladywood as the name of a very small constituency held briefly by the Liberals in 1969, which was then very unusual for a Birmingham seat, but possible because the constituency was then tiny. Embracing Birmingham's city centre, Ladywood now contains some of the most heavily non-white areas in Britain, as well as more traditional inner-city council estates to the north and east. The area is solidly Labour, even if riven by conflicting community loyalties. Labour's Clare Short, a likeable left-winger, who sometimes seems to struggle to voice the 'New Labour' party line, will be returned safely to parliament
