Hunt

You couldn’t make it up, back in 2013, I predicted that #JeremyHunt, the Secretary of State for Health would keep his seat #swsurrey unless a united front on a media, anti-corruption or save the NHS campaign stood, preferably with all party agreement. I thought it unlikely. However, today, the National Health Action Party is standing a strong candidate, and the 2010 second place party who won 31%, the LibDems, have had their candidate disqualified, but not removed from the ballot paper. 🙁  The NHAP seem to think this will help.

I recorded this with a storify, date created 30th May 2015, which I added to this post in Nov 2019.
