I'm a bit late on this one, but no one else seems to have noticed it either! Labour MP Paul Daisley (Ken Livingstone's successor in Brent East) died yesterday. The Guardian and the Times have obituaries.

It means the Government will have to face a by-election in what should be a safe constituency (results from previous elections) complicated by the fact that the constituency itself is due to disappear at the next election, being split between Paul Boateng's Brent South and Glenda jackson's Hampstead and Highgate.
