Elizabeth Truss, Conservative candidate for the safe seat of South West Norfolk, has survived possible deselection (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/politics/conservative/6584831/Tory-candidate-Elizabeth-Truss-avoids-deselection.html).
Miss Truss' position had been called into question ostensibly due to an affair, which took place several years earlier. However, some observers noted that a vote to deselect Miss Truss, a candidate close to leader David Cameron who appears to have been parachuted into the seat, could have sent ripples of dissent out to other local branches keen to oust their own candidates. Channel 4 News reported that the South West Norfolk Conservative Party had recieved calls from other party branches on this issue.
Of course nothing similar could be on the cards for sleepy Shepway and the political certainty that is Damian Collins. Could it? One gossip is reporting rumours of disquiet in the Tory ranks and more alarmingly that 'there have also been suggestions that Collins has assassins on the prowl removing the old Praetorian Guard' (http://www.my-kent.com/index.php/Politics/folkestone-liberal-democrat-stands-down-as-ppc.html).
Hopefully not literally.
