Congratulation Sandip!

My Conservative opponent in Wolverhampton South West at the General Election, Sandip Verma, is to be made a Peer. Although I think we should a wholly elected second chamber I still want to congratulate Sandip. I found Sandip to be very personable and wish her luck in the House of Lords.

Other people on the leaked list report in the Independent include the "leader" of the Green Party and Dr Ian Paisley's wife Eileen and a host of Labour and Tory donors.
