Is Brian Paddick a member/potential candidate then?
“Soared into the lead” is a little generous. I have just checked the number and 32 people back her, against 25 for Brian Paddick.
I voted for Brian, but like Peter, to be honest, I don’t know if he’s a party member. I have seen him at my gym though.
Stuart, did you tell him he could be the next mayor of London.
I should have tried to talk him into standing, but perhaps it would have just seemed like the weirdest chat-up ever.
Brian Paddick is a party member
And its just been on the news he wants to be the LD candidate!
Yes, this story is in tomorrow’s Times (I just bought a copy on Oxford Street). Go Brian – he’s got some much more experience and gravitas than bumbling Boris.
