💥💥💥💥 One Conservative candidate just messages this for circulation: “Richard Holden is a disgrace to the Conservative Party. He’s put himself over candidates. He’s shown complete disdain for Party members. The only reason this fool won’t be associated with this disastrous election is because nobody believes anyone thinks he competent, capable or trusted enough to be involved in the day to day decision making of this campaign. It’s a running joke amongst candidates that they hope it’s a Labour gain in Basildon and Billericay.”

Here is Ian Acheson’s devastating letter resigning from the Tory Party in fury at the PM’s failure to attend the international section of the D Day commemoration. Mr Acheson is a former prison governor and advisor to the government on countering extremism Dear sir, I am writing to resign my membership of the Conservative Party with immediate effect. If you are at all interested in knowing why, you might want to watch yesterday's news coverage again to understand the depth of feeling around this country's Prime Minister shunning his duty to our few remaining veterans in Normandy to scuttle back to London to do a news piece defending an indefensible tax claim. Electioneering ahead of a solemn commemoration of those who gave so much for the freedoms we enjoy today is simply unforgivable. And, I might add, alien to the core values of the party I joined. It was an act of either colossal stupidity or cynical calculation. Either way, it revealed to me that while I still embrace a conservative philosophy, I am no longer willing to have it outsourced to a bunch of mendacious, incompetent and disreputable clowns. Country before party. Always. Yours sincerely Ian Acheson

🚨PERSONAL NEWS KLAXON🚨 Surrey Heath residents, rightly, expect their MP to be a part of their community. Well as of today I am now a resident of St Paul’s ward! As many of you will appreciate Michael Gove stepped down with a short timeframe to select me and it’s hard to get a place so quickly. I’ve said in previous messages my fiancé and I were moving in, and I’m sorry I couldn’t be more explicit on timeframes as I didn’t want to jinx it, but now I am so happy to live here and honoured to stand and represent our great residents!
