| Today's second Northerner post flagged up our plan to bring you details of the Police and Crime Commissioner candidates for all the police forces in the three northern regions of England.

| Before we get going on each force, here's an overview showing which parties, and/or independents, are in the field in all 12 elections. You'll see some familiar names - notably John Prescott in Humberside where his opponents include Geoffrey Bloom, the UKIP MEP. Other former Westminster MPs include Vera Baird, fighting for Labour in Northumbria, and there are many local councillors putting up. | Before we get going on each force, here's an overview showing which parties, and/or independents, are in the field in all 12 elections.

| The biggest slate is the seven-strong one in Humberside, followed by six in Merseyside at the other end of the M62. The smallest is in North Yorkshire where only Labour and the Conservatives will battle it out.

| The poll is on Thursday 15 November which also sees the Parliamentary by-election in Manchester Central on which the Northerner is running a similar series of candidates' manifestos. See those so far published here (using the links at the bottom of the piece too). The by-election was caused by Labour MP Tony Lloyd's decision to run for the police commissioner job in Greater Manchester. | The poll is on Thursday 15 November which also sees the Parliamentary by-election in Manchester Central on which the Northerner is running a similar series of candidates' manifestos.
