This part of ConservativeHome doesn't usually cover the selection of GLA candidates (Sam and I need some time off!) but James Cleverly's selection last night to (hopefully) inherit Bob Neill's Bexley and Bromley seat is an exception... for two reasons: (1) James is a good friend of this site and it's really thrilling to see him selected and about to become one of the most prominent ambassadors for Conservatism in London; and (2) Matthew Scott of Bexley CF recorded the terrific video (below) of last night's proceedings. For those wanting an insight into the workings of a selection process Matthew has done a great job.
