The News Shopper reports:

Labour parliamentary candidate for Gravesham Kathryn Smith has been arrested on suspicion of drink-driving after crashing her car into a roundabout.

The incident reportedly took place in University Way, Dartford, at the junction of Joyce Green Lane, at around 10pm on Monday.

It is understood she was breathalysed at the scene and asked to provide a blood sample…

A Kent Police spokewsoman said: “A 49-year-old woman from Welling has been arrested on suspicion of drink driving following a road traffic collision on April 26.” …

In a statement to News Shopper, Miss Smith denied she had been arrested.

Curious.

    Kathryn Smith was, apparently, returning home after a day’s campaigning here in Gravesham. We can only speculate how bad the canvassing returns were!

    Labour lost Gravesham in 2005, their MP having been almost invisible since first winning the seat in 1997. I’ve received Labour’s election address (the same week the election was called!) and a target letter trying to convince me that Labour shares my values. I’ve had nothing from Labour, nor from the Tories, in the last two weeks. You wouldn’t believe this is a marginal with only a 1.5% majority.
