Orsett
Richard Speight (Lab)
Mark O’Nion (BNP)
Mike Revell (Cons)
Marie Andrews (UKIP)
Three guesses? The chamber would be a poorer place for Mike Revell. He has been re-energised by his Portfolio for Environment Services and has always been a combative opponent and foil in the chamber. He always comes into his own in the last week of a campaign often ensuring that the Tories steal or secure seats from under the noses of Labour.
Expert at identifying key issues in the ward such as the Lower Dartford Crossing and resolute in any campaign. Highly accomplished at fostering good relationships with the media.
Richard Speight has enjoyed the campaign first time out, both locally and nationally. Of all the young candidates, Richard Speight is by far the brightest by a few light years. Will be interesting to get his take on the campaigns after the dust has settled.
As for Kim Philby, enough said.
Prediction: Cons Hold
