Victory is Timpson’s

As you will probably know Edward Timpson, the Conservative Party Candidate for Crewe and Nantwich, has been elected Member of Parliament for Crewe and Nantwich. I sat in Nantwich Conservative Club watching the results come in and the mood was electric. Labour came out with around 12,000 votes and the LibDems around 6,000. Mr Timpson [...]
