The news from CH.com is that Tory frontbencher Anne McIntosh has been selected for the very safe and newly created seat of Thirsk and Malton. I have always argued that Anne deserves a good berth because of her excellent parliamentary record - just the sort of MP we need. I am, however, sad that another MP whose constituency disappears - John Greenway - is now left without a seat to fight. 'A'-List or no 'A'-List we need to support those who have given dedicated service to the party. I hope that John is given what he deserves by the powers that be at CCHQ.But, well done Anne - I'm sure it was well deserved.

More than disappearing, I would say that Thirsk and Malton was the continuation of his old Ryedale constituency considering it contains over 70% of the old Ryedale. That's why I was surprised he lost the selection.
