If the Labour spin doctors had written the same press release it would have read like this (probably):

Mr X will be trying to oust David Cameron's Environment Secretary Elizabeth Truss from her seat at the 2015 elections after he was selected at a party meeting in Thetford.

Mr X was unanimously selected by party members against the hardest of competition.

A former RAF Tornado Directional Consultant Mr X spent 25 years in the air force and retired at the incredibly exalted rank of Wing Commander. He has saved the planet on a number of occasions and was God's right hand man against the evil dictatorship of Kraplakistan for which he recieved an OBE.

He undertook two exceptionally high pressure tours of duty at RAF Marham where he was in charge of everything and his intellectual prowess was essential with his leadership of the defence think-tank, RUSI, after leaving the forces.

Mr X joined the Party in 2013 and was elected as Norfolk County councillor for Swaffham the same year with an incredible majority.

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, Public Health, kittens and crochet. In his spare time he rescues disabled children that have fallen into the Fens, he gives all his wordly wealth to any charity that will take his cash and has a 3 legged greyhound called "Trotski".

Here is a picture of Mr X whilst in charge of everything in his normal working dress

Allegedly...
