149: Alex Deane: running to be Finchley and Golders Green's next MP on July 4th
Manage episode 419933406 series 2529514
You’ll know Alex Deane if you’re a regular news channel viewer.
A regular commentator and reviewer on Sky News, BBC’s dateline London and GB News, he says couldn’t stand idly by in an era where the conviction politician might stand an electoral chance to buck the trend.
And Alex is standing in Finchley and Golders Green, Margaret Thatcher’s seat made vacant by Mike Freer, hounded out of public life when his constituency office was burned down. He was also the original target of assassin Ali Harbi Ali, who murdered fellow Tory MP for Southend West, Sir David Amess.
Alex was called to the bar at Middle Temple in 2005 and served as Chief of Staff to David Cameron when he was Shadow Secretary of State for Education.
He’s also an historian and author of "Lessons From History" uncovering great heroes who history have forgotten but who helped shape the world we live in now.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak declared just hours before - with the poll set for July 4th.
Finchley is a big constituency stretching from Cricklewood Broadway, lapping at the shores of Whetstone, so if you’re an N or an NW, listen up, this is Alex Deane.
