We are now scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Six of Spades: Sir Nicholas Soames
Soames was a useless minister under useless prime minister John Major. His main claims to fame are lying about Diana Princess of Wales, making 'woof' noises at female members of Parliament in the House of Commons, attempting to evade tax, and repeated driving offences.He will not stand in December 2019. Haywards Heath voted 53.56% Remain in 2016, but a real Conservative can win the seat.
Five of Spades: Dame Caroline Spelman
Briefly a minister under Cameron, but not since, she was a 2009 expenses fiddler. A Remainer in a Leave seat - Meriden, 58.81% Leave - she tabled the infamous motion in the House of Commons in January 2019 that stated that there was not a majority of MPs in favour of a no-deal Brexit. The point of Brexit is that the people voted for it, not MPs, and the motion was a disgraceful attempt to thwart that vote. Expelled from the Conservative party in September 2019, she has decided not to stand at the next election. So another traitor already gone.Four of Spades: Greg Clark
As a minister, his staff went on strike because his department did not pay them the London Living Wage. He was expelled by the Conservative party in 2019 but readmitted in October, so it will be up to the local party in Tunbridge Wells - 55.35% Remain in the 2016 referendum - to deselect him..Three of Spades: Antoinette Sandbach
Following her expulsion from the Conservative party, the Eddisbury Conservative Association passed a motion of no confidence in her. She remarked that they were 'an unrepresentative handful of people' who should not get to decide the question. She will stand as an 'Independent' and a Remainer in the next election, although her constituency voted 52.17% Leave in the 2016 referendum.Abstained in vote on an early election on 29 October 2019.
