As a long-standing and loyal Conservative Party member, I am appalled that Ivan Massow has been welcomed back into the Conservative Party.

Readers may recall it was not so long ago that he left in a blaze of self-publicity to join Labour and then decided to go Independent for the London mayoral election.

It seems that not only is he back, he is on the list of approved candidates, even though, by his own admission, he is not really worthy.

I do hope that the remaining Conservative associations who still have to select a parliamentary candidate bear this in mind.
