IS THIS A BREXIT PARTY OWN GOAL?

THE Brexit Party has disclosed the names of more than 100 of its parliamentary candidates. But have they missed a trick? Ralph Ward-Jackson, who has two children with Baroness Fall, David Cameron’s former deputy chief of staff, was turned down for the Hartlepool constituency. Did the selectors not realise that his 19th-century ancestor, Ralph Ward Jackson, founded West Hartlepool and has a string of pubs and a park named in his honour? Instead, the party has chosen Ken Hodcroft, ex-chairman of Hartlepool FC. An own goal, possibly?
