Toby Philpott Cryptic Latest

Another year rolls round, and 2010 already looks to be a corker for watchers of the Shepway body politic.

Cllr Russell Tillson has produced a strong statement for the local Conservative association, the Lib Dems are getting stuck into Dungeness once again (more on this shortly) and the Lydd airport decision is only months away.*

To cap it all, 'international man of mystery' Toby Philpott, ex PPC for Shepway Lib Dems, 'is weighing options and taking soundings in the light of information that has recently come to his attention', at least according to his latest tweet.

Perhaps it's just wishful thinking that this tweet is related to the imminent decision on the next Lib Dem PPC - definitely not Cllr Tim Prater and generally thought to be Cllr Lynne Beaumont?

Mr Philpott was ousted from this position some time ago in circumstances that remain unclear and have led to some public slanging. Last October, via the 'twittersphere', Mr Philpott made the following statement: Toby Philpott 'is putting the Liberal Democrats on warning that if the coming F&H PPC selection is a "stitch up" YOU WILL BE OPPOSED! Clear enough for you?'

Yes the pic is a shameful rehash of one I put up before - it's late.

*absolutely not a guarantee.
