Will there be an interesting "independent" standing in Lib Dem Bedford?

Strong rumours reach me from different sources that an interesting candidate, with connections to persons unmentionable, intends to put their name forward as an independent parliamentary candidate in Bedford. I understand that this is in order to scupper the parliamentary ambitions of Tory candidate Richard Fuller. Poor Richard is already looking a tad beleaguered following the trouncing of the Tories in the Bedford Mayoral elections - with a local party publicly tearing bits out of each other, he certainly doesn't seem to have the solid committed team on the ground.

So, apparently said candidate will declare at the weekend.............I await with baited breath. All looking increasingly positive for our Henry Vann :-)
