What do those #Tory & #Labour candidates have in common?

Both were selected to run in the constituency after they (or their dad) made 6-figure donations to their respective parties

In Labour’s case, lobby firm boss #KevinCraig handed £100k to Labour before being selected unopposed

Tories chose #PatrickSpencer after his father, billionaire Tory peer, gave the party £250k
