Iain Dale has stepped down from LBC in order to seek a candidacy for the election.

He stood in North Norfolk in 2005, which was held by the Lib Dems - and made a number of attempts to win the Tory candidacy for a couple more seats before going into broadcasting instead.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he falls back on his podcasts at least if he’s unsuccessful this time.

The thinking is he's going to stand in Tunbridge Wells which is generally seen as a safe Tory seat
