So Cameron’s Conservatives in Bromley and Chislehurst have chosen Bob Neill, a pin-striped, old, grey-haired, male barrister to fight the by-election.

Back to the drawing board for the A-list, which hasn’t worked out too brilliantly this time…

UPDATE : He doesn’t actually live locally and he is an opera loving Freemason (Greater London Lodge). Isn’t it all just so retro 1950s?
