Three cheers for Arundel Conservatives
Terrific news from Arundel, where the Tories have chosen a superb replacement for Howard Flight. How rare it is that a selection meeting chooses the best candidate.
Nick Herbert is just the sort of man the Tories, and the Commons itself, needs: sparky, thoughtful, bright, personable and - above all - right in his policy prescriptions. I must declare an interest; he is a friend, and I sit on the advisory board of his think tank, Reform.
The only downside is that he will be missed by Reform - althogh the now Acting Director, Andrew Haldenby, has been equally instrumental in Reform's success, and will I am sure take it on to new triumphs.
