Yesterday I grilled 7 of the candidates running to become the next MP for Mid Bedfordshire.
It was a huge team effort behind the scenes. Thanks as always to all my brilliant colleagues at @BBC3CR & my amazing producers @producerlaura & @LizFlower

🧵Nadine Dorries thread
This week I went to Mid Bedfordshire to speak to voters about their MP Nadine Dorries, who doesn't have a listed constituency office and hasn't spoken in Parliament for over a year, but won't step down. This is what they said:

Cllr Gareth Mackey retweeted
“When it was first mooted that she would receive a peerage, people were absolutely shocked.
“People really are sick and tired of not having someone to fight their corner.”
Mid Bedfordshire councillor reveals why Nadine Dorries’ needs to resign.
Some speculation and surprise at the poll putting me third. This article gives some interesting insights.

Hate to be the one to make you aware Bedford isn’t in the Mid Beds constituency.
Sunny afternoon in Bedford campaigning for the indefatigable @FestAKINBUSOYE ☀️
Local people here want an MP who will get things done. Festus already has a solid track-record here, I know he’ll deliver for Mid Beds.

Truly shocking murder of Sir David Amess this afternoon. Whilst we don’t know much of the background to the attack it still makes you stop and think. We may disagree on many things as a society but to think that violence is any sort of recourse is utterly incomprehensible. RIP
