Remember Phillipa Stroud?

The ‘rising Tory star’, who the Observer alleged as having ran prayer sessions to ‘cure’ gay people, is head of the Centre for Social Justice think-tank.

She was also the party’s candidate for the Sutton and Cheam.

No longer.

Only two months after the election Ms Stroud has put her £650,000 five-bedroom house up for sale.

The Sutton Guardian says her career ‘is really going places’ and adds:

Four months before the 2010 election – which she lost to Liberal Democrat MP Paul Burstow – she bought a stylish property on Mulgrave Road and moved in with her husband and three children.
…
During the election Mrs Stroud vehemently hit out at those who suggested she did not live in the constituency.
…
A neighbour, who did not want to be named, said: “It does make you cynical. When I first met her she said she ‘loved the house’.”

Oh dear. Well, at least she has the money to move around all the time.

Phillipa Stroud previously stood for election in 2005 at Birmingham Ladywood. Then she came third with 10.6% of the votes.

Look out people, Phillipa Stroud might be moving somewhere near you.
