I like him. Seems down to earth and sensible. Not in politics for himself but for his constituency and to make a difference. 

I think the Plymouth Herald was just looking for a story and was a bit sensationalist tbh. 

Hope he will go far but I think his unpolitical nature and unwillingness to play the game will hold him back. Shame. 

generally positive. he and Tugendhat would be on my dream team for leader next time round. maybe leader and f sec.

the name tugendhat will never not make me heh

He is local to me.  My assessment is that he has the drive and energy (good thing) and the intellect (bad thing) of a junior army officer.  He would probably have retired as no more than a major if he'd stayed in.

Perfectly straightforward, but not national leader quality.

His brother is a solicitor.  His picture on his website used to be him holding a big hardback book "Law is War"...

I think I heard somewhere that they are not friends.

He's an Army man rather than an Oxbridge intellectual (good).

Moon River was good too

And a fine hunt jockey in his day

I think whether it is good rather depends on whether you need some abstract thinking done or people machine-gunned actually, Dux.

He's a tory and a brexiteer, and so is therefore a waste of DNA, but he's also a humourless, prissy little wimp - https://twitter.com/johnnymerceruk/status/1088483566135271426?lang=en

HEH @ "Perhaps I should have done something worthy with my life and become a left wing gobshite masquerading as a serious journalist"

Well, I certainly don't my elected representatives doing "abstract thinking."

Presumably you just want them shouting at johnny forriner like Mark Francois?

When the occasion arises, yes.

If I had to draw what I imagine/know for a certainty what 3 Dux looks like, it would have been like one of those spookily-accurate crime efits of Mark Francois
