Phillipa Stroud has left the building. I repeat…
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.

“During the election Mrs Stroud vehemently hit out at those who suggested she did not live in the constituency.”
So, we can take her word with a pinch of salt when she denies her religious clap trap.
Can we have her tagged (or 4sq) so that we know where she is. Forewarned is forearmed.
Isn’t she now a Special Adviser to IDS, earning tens of thousands of taxpayers’ money though?
Oooh, someone has just bought the house next door to me! Not worth 2/3rds of a million though, so probably not her bag.
I shall keep everyone updated…
Advisor to IDS
The meek shall inherit the Earth
More old testament.
“During the election Mrs Stroud vehemently hit out at those who suggested she did not live in the constituency.”
Doesn’t that fact that she is selling her house show that she did in fact live in the constituency so she was right defend allegations that she did not.
I’d just like to point out that Churchill stood for a total of 7 different seats some of which he stood for one election, lost and moved on to another seat are we not all grateful for that? If he’d only fought one seat where would that have left us?
And Gladstone fought at least three!
I’m no fan of Stroud for political reasons but she is as much of a local candidate as Mandelson was in Hartlepool or Milliband in Southshields.
“I’d just like to point out that Churchill stood for a total of 7 different seats ”
I knew Churchill.
Churchill was a friend of mine.
Sir, Phillapa Stroud is no Churchill.
