Can David Cameron survive the by-election triggered by the departure of Louise Mensch?

Labour didn't waste any time last Monday morning. Just hours after Louise Mensch announced she would step down as an MP, the party's prospective candidate for Corby and East Northamptonshire fired off a press release.

"Louise Mensch was obviously struggling to balance being an MP with her family and business commitments. I respect her for the honest way she talked about this and her decision to step down," Andy Sawford wrote. "Labour is now looking forward to the campaign ahead. During the by-election we will focus on the two wasted years of Tory policies that have taken the country back into recession and left Corby suffering job losses in both the public and private sector."
