A By-Election in Sedgefield (Middle East Envoy Tony Blair’s Manor)?

DIZZY hears a rumour:

Have just heard that the Labour Party has begun mobilising its forces for a by-election in Sedgefield. There are also unconfirmed rumours that Wednesday is going to have one last little “surprise”.

Historically the Labour Party have held multiple by-elections on the same day in its seats to squeeze Lib Dems resources, so I wonder if it will be on the same day as Ealing Southall?

A special envoy:

Representatives of the Mideast Quartet are meeting in Jerusalem on Tuesday, a day after Israeli, Palestinian, Egyptian and Jordanian leaders held talks. The quartet — comprised of the United Nations, the European Union, the United States and Russia — is holding its first talks since Hamas took control of the Gaza Strip (more…) two weeks ago and is reported to be discussing the possible appointment of outgoing British Prime Minister Tony Blair as its new envoy to the region.
