Gone (but will she change her mind this time?)

Two questions prompted by Estelle Morris' announcement that she won't be standing at the next election:

1) Is she the first Labour MP to jump before she gets pushed out by the Liberal Democrats? John Hemming only needs a 4.4% swing in Birmingham Yardley to take the seat next time.

2) Is the timing of her announcement such that it'll be the Labour Party nationally, rather than her local party, who decide the Labour candidate for the next election? I'm not sure of the details, but I know there is a cut off date (2 years before the last possible date of the next election?) after which these decisions go to the NEC rather than the local party.

Answers on a postcard, or in the comments box, whichever you prefer.
