The BBC reports that there are six candidates standing at the Brecon and Radnorshire by-election.
As expected, Plaid Cymru and the Welsh Green Party have, admirably, agreed not to stand candidates in order to have a united “Remain” candidate in the shape of Jane Dodds.
The six candidates are:
Welsh Conservatives: Chris Davies
Welsh Labour: Tom Davies
Welsh Liberal Democrats: Jane Dodds
Brexit Party: Des Parkinson
UKIP: Liz Phillips
The Official Monster Raving Loony Party: The Pink Lady Lily
We can win this by-election, but we need your help! Please come to this lovely constituency NOW!

See Wiilam Hill have stopped all betting on the actual by election winner, most seem to think it is over already, but you can 7-2 on the Lib Dems getting over 50%!! Trouble is this can make our party compacent.

You may be right but the main problem is not us being complacent but that it might make potential Labour switchers think they need not bother to turn out to get rid of the Conservative. Still, if we work we will win.
The threat isn’t the Tories. It’s the Brexit Party which may hoover up a lot of Tory AND Labour votes. Just think of the advantages of a bye-election where there is what you might call a “two horse race” between us and Brexit which we win. And then think of the effect of losing to Farage sand co. Now is the time which defines the election issues and determines who are the contenders.
