It’s the end of an era for over 70 Tory MPs who will quit their seats at the next election – but one media veteran is making a rather interesting move in the opposite direction. Iain Dale, who has worked at LBC since 2010 and has presented a number of shows including Cross Question and All Talk, told listeners on Tuesday night that the show would be his last as he wants to stand for the Tory candidacy in Tunbridge Wells. After an extremely successful broadcast career, it’s quite the decision…
The seat is currently held by Greg Clark MP, who announced last week that he will be joining the Tory exodus and standing down at the election. The constituency has been Conservative-held since 2010 and the long-standing LBC presenter hopes that he could be its next Member of Parliament — after a previously unsuccessful attempt to contest the seat of North Norfolk in 2005.
