A touch of farce enters the Conservative Henley selection

Following on from the news about the internal ructions in Henley Conservatives over their selection of their Henley Parliamentary by-election candidate (requiring first John Maples and then David Cameron to meet personally with the local party to order them to fall into line), we now this rather bizarre report in today’s Henley Standard:

An air of secrecy has surrounded the [Conservative] selection meeting so far with no one prepared to admit that it is even taking place.

Well, that’s one way of doing things :-)

    Why hasn’t Iain Dale been on here yet slagging us off?

    Perhaps he’s ill? That would be worrying. It’s not nearly as much fun here without him to laugh at.

    Tory Tory,

    In that case go home and don’t bother to campaign.
