Congratulations to Col. Bob Stewart

I’ve just got news that Bob Stewart has been selected as the Conservative candidate for Beckenham. Bob will be a great candidate and MP and I look forward to working with him.

Beckenham had a strong field, so Bob clearly impressed to get through on the second ballot. Commiserations to the other four candidates, selections are an emotional roller-coaster and I know what it’s like to get pipped in a final.
