Liberal Democrat by-election candidate has Partygate message for the Tories

Blaise Baquiche, 31, a former policy advisor for the Tories in the EU, is standing in the Uxbridge and South Ruislip by-election, and said he wants to send a clear message to the Conservatives.

He said: โ€œI lost my father in the very week that Johnson partied.

โ€œHis lack of contrition is sickening, and I feel I represent hundreds and thousands of families across the country who feel the same way.โ€
