Coffee Shots: Theresa May vs Tim Farron

With Tim Farron the favourite to be the next leader of the Liberal Democrats and Theresa May still hopeful that she can succeed David Cameron in No.10, the pair may soon get to relive the 1992 election.

Nick Forbes, the Labour Leader of Newcastle CC, has revealed an old article from the election which saw Tim Farron, Theresa May and Hilary Armstrong compete for the seat of North West Durham.

Although Hilary Armstrong won at the time, the other two may eventually have the last laugh. Meanwhile, Mr S is glad to see that the Home Secretary has always had such a sharp sense of style.
