Photo flashback – victory for the chip eaters by 60,997 votes

I just happened to be going through some old photos – as you do. I chanced upon this photo from our Bournemouth conference last September. Those of us who have attended the odd conference know the drill – get together some candidates from our target seats for a fun photo on the sea front and then watch them not being elected in the subsequent general election.

It is all depressingly familiar – except this time all the candidates (including two sitting MPs) in this photo were elected – with combined majorities of 60,997!
