The Daily Telegraph and Daily Mail both run a piece today focusing on seven former Labour MPs and two former Liberal Democrat members who lost their seats at the 2010 General Election, but who as so-called retread MPs, are re-standing in May 2015 in the hope of getting back into the House of Commons.

There are a total of 19 identified former MPs hoping for another chance in 2015. Fourteen of them are former Labour MPs who all bar one lost narrowly in 2010, three are Liberal Democrats, one is a Conservative (Boris Johnson) and one was an Independent MP.
