I just wonder if Sweeney read Total Politics and decided it was a bit early for people (ie, me) to be writing his political obituary?
A more likely explanation is that it's a revenge match against DD for having masterminded the notorious whipping operation on the Maastricht Bill in 1992 that ended with Sweeney being locked in a House of Commons toilet.
It is also surely significant that Haltemprice and Howden is Sweeney's local consituency. As I pointed out in my Total Politics piece, nowadays he is a local solicitor in the village of North Cave, near Hull.

After my mum told me Mr Sweeney was standing, I dropped him an email to ask why and what he hoped to achieve.
