Sorry, but no new Tory dawn for St Ives after all (2)

Earlier this week, The St Ivean posted the blog's first report (see below) on the misfortunes of St Ives Conservatives with the story of how 'a new Dawn for St Ives' Mrs Dawn Parry failed to be selected as Conservative candidate for three parliamentary seats, one of which was St Ives. Instead, at the selection meeting last October, the St Ives Association selected Derek Thomas as its candidate.

So far, so good - and the party's website invited visitors to return to the site for regular updates on Derek's activities in the Constituency.

Not so good, since, according to the site, Derek seems to have done absolutely nothing at all since his victory over Mrs Parry six months ago.

Another failed new dawn for St Ives Conservatives?
