Hats off to Clarence Mitchell, who was selected as the Tory candidate for Brighton Pavilion last night.
After 20 years reporting for the BBC he moved to the Cabinet Office in 2005 and in 2007 was seconded from the Foreign Office to be part of the consular team supporting Madeleine McCann’s family, for whom he still acts as spokesman.
Mitchell will have to beat Green MP Caroline Lucas at the next election to make it into Parliament. Her majority is 1,252.
