Ex-GR Nav, Wg Cdr (Retd) Paul Smyth, to run for Parliament
I think that she clearly has all the attributes required to be a politician, being duplicitous, disingenuous, and with an over-inflated sense of her own importance, that no one else seems to share.
Whatever you may think of Sophy Gardner..

Meanwhile, a third Labour candidate has rejected Blair’s donation. Gloucestershire candidate Sophy Gardner served in the RAF and says:
“I have taken a personal decision that given my criticism of the Iraq war, in which I served, it would be hypocritical of me to accept it. Therefore, I can confirm I would decline this money.”
“I have taken a personal decision that given my criticism of the Iraq war, in which I served, it would be hypocritical of me to accept it. Therefore, I can confirm I would decline this money.”
TBB (That B@st@rd Bliar) donated £106,000 to the Labour party for its 106 target seats; Gloucester is #38. Thus Ms Gardner's form of words is probably because she hasn't been formally offered it yet, but fully expected to be offered it.
I have taken a personal decision that given my criticism of the Iraq war, in which I served, it would be hypocritical of me to accept it. Therefore, I can confirm I would decline this money.”
Furthermore, why your Party would support donations of such kind is beyond me. Why you did not take the money and gift it to the underclass, I don't know either - that would be true socialism. That is just another reason why the 'Champagne Socialism' of today's Labour Party will never, ever, enjoy my vote again since I voted for you in 1997.

You know what to do...
Well Leon, if you believe Ed Balls, you might repeat your 1997 choice... 
Mr Balls made political capital out of the splits in Tory ranks, assuring voters in a speech last night that Labour would go “nowhere near the huge scale of defence cuts you are going to see under the Conservatives”,
It would appear that I was wrong about the Rt Hon Anna Soubry MP - she has increased her share of the vote by 6.2% over Labour in the Broxtowe marginal seat.
Credit, where credit is due. Well done.

I'm sure that by Monday morning her online profile will reflect that not only did she win her seat but she was made Prime Minister, Secretary General of the UN and captain of the England Rugby World Cup Squad, the first time that a woman has held these posts simultaneously. Well done Air Chief Marshall Sophy VC, Nobel Prize for Physics and Gold Blue Peter Badge winner.

Leon, I am puzzled, why six rounds with the pistol, are you such a poor shot at close range?

I know I am a bluff old traditionalist, but returning to the thread title for a brief interlude, in fact Paul Smyth came second to Elizabeth Truss. This was a significant achievement as he polled nearly 12,000 votes.
