Many congratulations to Elizabeth Truss who has been selected to fight Norfolk SW for the Conservatives at the next election.
She will inherit Christopher Fraser's notional majority of nearly 7,000.
Liz has been a driving force behind the Reform think tank's agenda for public service efficiency and was on my list of twenty top tips for parliament.
Her selection ends the run of male selections and will be used by the opponents of All Women Shortlists within CCHQ to thwart John Maples' ambition to introduce them.
