    Had she become leader I would have become her speechwriter and Chief of Staff.

    Tories win Sevenoaks by miles - LDs overtake Labour to take second, another fail by the tactical vote sites.

    So I win my bet at 1/3, which I doubt I will ever see for that seat again.

    Yeah, the Conservative Party's not going to learn the right lessons and make a massive rightwards swing, isn't it, given the survivors. They're going to be out of power for 15 years.
