Tariq Ahmad & Sutton Conservative selection

Just heard that Merton Tory Cabinet member Tariq Ahmad was not selected for the neighbouring Liberal Democrat marginal of Sutton and Cheam. Better luck next time, but at least it was a lot closer to Merton then some of the seats he has been seeking selection recently ie Hove, Cheltenham, Hastings, Brighton etc.

No doubt he will get somewhere eventually, but he does not seem to have enjoyed much luck recently in seeking a Parliamentary despite being a member of the Tory A-list.
