Regrettably, I will therefore not be putting my name forward when the selection procedure formally restarts in May. Having spoken to Mike Tuffrey and others yesterday, I am convinced that he will make an excellent candidate and I will be giving him my support in whatever way I can, should he decide to run, which I sincerely hope he does. <br /><br />Thank you for your support<br /><br />DominicDominic Carmannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685085701261233206.post-40814983597378726392011-03-23T22:27:17.107+00:002011-03-23T22:27:17.107+00:00Hi Dan,

I am hurt! <br /><br />Anyone who knows me would know that I would be very unlikely to be paid to work for the party or any group in it - so I can only assume that you don't know me very well. <br /><br />Why not come and join us for a beer and see how our campaign works. We might be able to reassure you.<br /><br />Regards<br />Ed Joyceedjoycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09239337637404400345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685085701261233206.post-81719559562120915322011-03-23T10:39:23.384+00:002011-03-23T10:39:23.384+00:00Can't wait to see what he's got to say aba...Can't wait to see what he's got to say abart the Cockney's when they tell him to f.ck off just like the Barnsley electorate did.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685085701261233206.post-76796791525929673972011-03-22T23:16:03.579+00:002011-03-22T23:16:03.579+00:00Ah that last comment would be by the Ed Joyce empl...Ah that last comment would be by the Ed Joyce employed by the Lembit campaign...Dan Falchikovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10202541499332901648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685085701261233206.post-54496312524486580882011-03-22T20:55:27.506+00:002011-03-22T20:55:27.506+00:00We need someone who is known to the public or we w...We need someone who is known to the public or we will get drowned out. The media like Lembit and from my experience the public on the ground warm to him. If Carman wanted to do this he would have declared months ago, so I can't see this would be a good approach.<br />Ed Joyceedjoycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09239337637404400345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-685085701261233206.post-19386705788434310262011-03-19T15:02:26.634+00:002011-03-19T15:02:26.634+00:00Dominic Carman for London Mayor?

If we're going to lose (and we undoubtedly will), we may as well put up a principled candidate like Carman to counter the 'Lib Dems have sold out' meme.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
