New: A “deselection” card delivered to Joan Ryan’s parliamentary office was NOT just left at her door. Her staff arrived this morning to find it on her desk. Meaning an intruder went into her office. Police are now trawling CCTV telegraph.co.uk/politics/2018/…
The card makes a specific reference to Joan Ryan going to Cyprus. She is deeply concerned at this, because it is a reference to a holiday she is planning to take later this month - something she believes they could have only have discovered by rifling through her diary.
After speaking to her today, it is clear that Joan Ryan is really shaken by it. What may have been a harmless prank has caused a huge amount of distress. If caught, the ramifications for the culprit - who is almost certainly a Parli passholder - is likely to be very serious
Sorry, I’m going to retract the word harmless, because there’s little doubt the person responsible knew exactly what they were doing and wanted to send a message.
