Foreign Secretary Declares Clwyd South Conservative Win
The Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has today he was ‘delighted’ to see the Conservatives win Clwyd South, a move that the Labour winner has said presents a ‘slight factual problem’.
In a widely promoted column in The Sun (no link) the Foreign Secretary says:
Now Labour MP Susan Elan Jones beat Conservative candidate Simon Baynes in the recent election by 4,356 votes – gaining 19,002 votes overall.
The MP fired back on twitter late this evening to say: “Memo to @BorisJohnson – you may be “delighted” to see the Tories have won Clwyd South: slight factual problem, you didn’t #BorisJohnson ”
Adding in a later tweet, “… I’m not letting @BorisJohnson get away with the ‘tripe’ about Tories winning Clwyd South!”
Boris Johnson stood in the seat in 1997 and lost by 13,810 votes to Labour’s Martyn Jones.
UPDATE Monday morning…
Boris has got the tip-ex out, with the above paragraph now looking like this:
