MANY Tories in Worcester think city MP Robin Walker is facing a tough battle to hold onto his parliamentary seat in 2015.

Now The Source is wondering if Andrew Grant, president of Worcester Conservative Association, is beginning to think the same way.

The well-heeled estate agent boss, who famously stuck his neck out in May to insist gay marriage will confuse children and upset teachers, had his staff send us an email this week advertising another of his firm’s top properties.

People across Worcestershire are being invited to view a £1.5 million Grade II listed georgian home with no less than 11 bedrooms, set in nine acres of land in the Teme Valley.

The name of the property in question? Robins End. Spooky!

* IF you’ve spent the last few days getting into family squabbles over who gets that last mince pie, or where all the Quality Street has gone, you’re not alone.

It’s become a bit of a tradition at Worcester City Council for the planning committee’s chairman to bring in Madeira wine and festive cake for the last meeting before Christmas.

The annual treat, which Tory Councillor Robert Rowden kicked off several years ago when he ran the committee, was successfully passed over to fellow former chairman and Labour Councillor Geoff Williams, who went a step further last year and gave away the leftover Stollen to hard-pressed Guildhall staff.

There’s nothing worse than hungry and thirsty politicians - but sadly that came to pass when Conservative Councillor David Wilkinson, the current chairman, inexplicably brought along nothing to the meeting last week.

Rather than let it be, that led to fellow Tory Councillor Andy Roberts giving him a gentle ticking off when the committee was in full flow, for his laxness.

Fight, fight fight.

* IT’S no easy task being the leader of Worcestershire County Council these days, but Councillor Adrian Hardman has clearly had other things on his mind.

He tweeted: “Slight frost in Rome last night, which is nothing compared with the chill in the Hardman household following (the) Christmas present chat from Mrs H”.

Oh dear!

* DO you know the difference between a cat and David Cameron? A cat doesn’t pretend to care about you.
