Iain Dale Resigns from LBC, Removed from Tunbridge Wells MP Selection After Remarks
May 31, 2024, 09:54 AM
Iain Dale, a prominent LBC presenter, has resigned from his show to pursue a political career as a Conservative MP. However, just three days after his resignation, Dale was removed from the selection process by his local Conservative association. The decision came after Dale made disparaging remarks about the area he aimed to represent, specifically Tunbridge Wells. Despite the backlash, some supporters argue that Dale would have been a competent MP and hope he considers running for another constituency. Dale had initially resigned from LBC with what some described as 'unbearable smugness,' stating he wanted to 'restore trust and honesty in politics.' His removal has left him humiliated.
