Well as I suspected would happen, Caroline Dinenage romped home in the Gosport primary postal ballot yesterday, and is now their Conservative parliamentary candidate.
She’s not bad, but I wonder if she’d have won so convincingly if she’d not kept her maiden name? (Her father has been prominent on TV since the 1970s, and still appears on the evening news programme across the south).
Rather more mysteriously, the Spelthorne Labour Party have dropped their bright young hopeful, Robert Ferguson. Robert was born and bred in Sunbury and was their parliamentary candidate until last month.
They have replaced him with someone from outside the area, who “commits” to move here, but only once elected!
His name is Adam Tyler-Moore. Surely a double-barrelled mistake?
