Boris Johnson the new Mayor of London is also the MP for the affluent and idyllic Oxfordshire Parliamentary constituency of Henley. He promised to give up his seat in the House of Commons once he became Mayor, but seems reluctant to go. The benefits from ‘doing’ two jobs and receiving two salaries are clearly difficult to shake off.

Rumour has it that Johnson does not want to go until the autumn, leaving the residents of Henley without an effective MP for months. This is a disgrace. We call on Johnson to do this decent thing and quit immediately. What possible reason is there for a delay?

The British National Party has already selected an excellent candidate in Tim Rate. Tim contested the neighbouring seat of Maidenhead at the last General Election. Tim and a team of senior officers from South East Region, led by Andy McBride the Regional Organiser (and Tim’s Election Agent) recently met up with National Elections Officer Eddy Butler to go through our plans for this interesting by-election. We will give whoever is chosen to succeed Johnson a run for their money. But first of all ‘Bring it on Boris!’

South East Region activist have already started their campaign. Leafleting began on 31st May with a number of villages around Sonning covered by the excellent A5 glossy full colour election warm up leaflet.. A new Henley Patriot is ready and that will also be going out shortly. It is all systems go!
