It’s gone largely unremarked so far, but Mark Walklate, who is standing as an independent candidate in the Crewe & Nantwich by-election, is a former Conservative activist.
He stood for the Conservatives in both the 2006 and 2007 local elections. Moreover, his nomination papers look to have been signed by two prominent local Conservative activists. All in all, that doesn’t seem like a happy ship.
P.S. It’s always unfortunate if you get your own phone number wrong in your leaflets. It’s doubly so when the wrong phone number turns out to be for the member of another party. But it’s quite nice of the Conservatives to be pointing their supporters at a Liberal Democrat member.

Who is doing the Golden Dozen for last week?
Well, I hope that the Liberal Democrat member whose phone number the Conservatives are spreading is able to inform the callers about the Conservative candidate. 😉
Probably going to tell them to Vote Dunwoody. Cf Paddick diary entry for London.
PS Is it the Tories who have printed the wrong number Mark? It’s not 100% clear.
Lol, that’s a good joke Chris, although surely they’d tell them to vote Ken ;o)
