Whilst trying to hold down my Sunday Lunch I thought I would see what Paul Smyth has written about him - as Biggus so righly points out 'less is more' when it comes to bio/cv writing.

Paul Smyth will be trying to oust Environment Secretary Elizabeth Truss from her seat at the 2015 elections after he was selected at a party meeting in Thetford.

Mr Smyth was unanimously selected by party members.

A former RAF Tornado Navigator, Mr Smyth spent 25 years in the air force and retired at the rank of Wing Commander.

He undertook two tours of duty at RAF Marham and worked for a defence think-tank, RUSI, after leaving the forces.

Mr Smyth joined UKIP in 2013 and was elected as Norfolk County councillor for Swaffham the same year.

He is Chairman of the County Council’s cross-party Communities Committee which has oversight of 13 Service Delivery areas including the Norfolk Fire & Rescue Service, Libraries, Trading Standards and Public Health.
