Davis and Dale Dream ticket

I think congratulations are in order for my friend Iain Dale who has announced that he is taking up the new post of Chief of Staff to the Conservative leadership favourite David Davis MP. On election night there were three results I was interested in. My own - which wasn't as good as I had hope. Andrew Turner's - who was rewarded for all of his hard work over the past few years with a vastly increased majority, and Iain Dale's.

I have to say that it came as a huge shock when the result of North Norfolk was announced given I know how hard Iain had worked. I have no doubt he will make an excellent Chief of Staff and will play an integral part in Conservative party politics.
