Twickenham (& Richmond Park,Windsor)
Many thanks Richard - I have since worked out it was a different Richard on Con Home. He mentioned he lived in Kate Hoey’s seat so clearly not Yorkshire!
Yes…Barnaby Marder is from Richmond/Mortlake area and I’ve known him for quite a while, but don’t see him that often. Hopefully he will post again…

May 15th, 2008 at 4:04 pmThe Tories held the Monkseaton North by-election last night with almost 70% of the votes cast (other candidates Labour, Green and Lib Dem). Tories now have 31 councillors and are the majority party on North Tyneside council. Good to see a young candidate standing under the Conservative banner as well.
I haven’t worked out the swing to Conservative since May 1st elections (must be just over 2%?)

Apart from the odd Lib Dem here and there, and a couple of other people from the centre-left, about 95% of the posters nowadays seem to be Tories
June 20th, 2008 at 2:36 pmI think Monkseaton North is in the Tynemouth parliamentary constituency - not this one.
