The loss of this seat was an unforced error. If Owen Paterson and done his porage like a man he'd be back by now (unless felled by a recall petition).
Similarly 'partygate' could have been knocked on the head by a decent statement of regret instead of weeks of lying and obfuscation.
The briefing against Chris Witty, a dedicated public servant in a role that has always spoken advice direct to the public, is an utter disgrace. The spokesman on the Today programme (Party Chair) was tying himself in knots over the issue.
