He also stands for a party that might have some influence in Britain's relationship with the EU, rather than Farage, who could well have won Thanet South against a pro-European Tory candidate but will now probably look elsewhere, since standing here will split the UKIP vote - oh what irony! Farage will pop off elsewhere and topple a pro-EU Tory, where he will find himself totally marginalised at Westminster in his party of one.Tim Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09360638835659673415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-86479499181560050962014-07-07T09:44:29.741+01:002014-07-07T09:44:29.741+01:00Laura Sandys will be hard to replace.

Come to mention it, what exactly is MP material?<br /><br />That said, it was always apparent that Laura Sandys would be hard to replace and so it has proved. Nonetheless, I suppose we should give the chap a hearing and see what he has to say for himself.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17927801279761727020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-51924349758786742072014-07-05T15:17:44.710+01:002014-07-05T15:17:44.710+01:00Including the current incumbants!Including the current incumbants!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01600708780834419647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-21372628067761283052014-07-04T23:42:54.085+01:002014-07-04T23:42:54.085+01:00Can you think of a local Tory who is MP material? ...Can you think of a local Tory who is MP material?
