If you look very carefully at the David Reed selection photo you can see it is quite literally a stitch up! How else might they explain the two images of ex Tory MP and Whip Tim Wood occupying adjacent spaces? (yellow tie and light grey suit about 1/3rd in from left) . Stitching up might explain Angie’s question about Humphreys single leg.

With such low numbers gathered, a good few of whom are recent election losers or quitters, no wonder there doesn’t seem to be a single smile amongst them. If anything, one looks to have nodded off!
