I will put forward a serious candidate who understands that representing Clacton is a job, someone who turns up, listens, holds meetings and works for the people who live here.

I’m not giving him a national platform, he is standing to be a councillor in Somerset … it is a local platform looking at parking, sorting out bins … I have much higher thresholds for what it takes to be a Conservative MP.
But I do feel the pull to Scotland because I see it as a place that should be more conservative than it is. I see it as a place that feels like it gets ignored by Westminster.
He should have done that and allowed himself to face questions from MPs. That’s what we’re elected to do.
How do I work with people like that when I am making carefully curated plans and taking a systems-based approach?
