07 May 10 - 05:55 PM (#2902347) Subject: Matty Groves defeated in Plymouth From: Edthefolkie I see from the Fairport Facebook feed that Matty Groves came in second at the General Election yesterday, Plymouth Moor View - honest! I just Googled him and apparently Matthew's employment background is in alternative dispute resolution. I believe he used to employ the better of two long beaten swords for this. Also - Chris Leslie got in in Notts East! (He was playing in Rainworth last night but kept jolly quiet about having to go out for the count). |

There are no Tory MPs in it but I imagine Lord Barnard was not exactly a left winger. |
