Tory PPC for Wirral West - connections to Thatcherite Conservative Way Forward group, minor local telly presenter, contested and lost the seat before; doesn't have much (anything?) to say on policy, supports various innoffensive campaign groups (women in business, victims rights, local parks, whatever).

The SSP need to update their elections page!
