The rumours in the Tory ranks in the Rochester & Strood constituency party are apparently at fever pitch as many political pundits can't help but have noticed the distinct low profile of Councillor Rodney Chambers and the way the Council, and some sections of the press, are fawning over every press statement by the rising star from Rainham; Cllr Mike O'Brien.
Part of the new generation of twitterers he has amassed a sizeable following of 1,888 (NB: I am envious). Followers of the rising star include those from the left leaning CheRecords, to the should be read by colleagues across benches, slimminganswer, to h4auto, located on Honolulu. It seems his tweets reach far and wide, including the beltway.
This blog predicted a few weeks ago that we could see an emerging player for leader of the Tories, in what is widely predicted to be Rodney's last hurrah.
And so it would seem - It has been difficult to keep track of the copious press statements from the Council and Tory group from the Portfolio holder. Ranging from the new Android iPhone App, to pontificating over the Rainham road works, to garden pursuits. The internet is buzzing.
So is this the green light for higher office or is this just good electioneering?
No one knows, but if it were, this is what you would expect them to do.
Well it can not come to soon...
Either way, the ''dynamic'' duo of Chambers and Jarrett have had their time. Cllr Jarrett, the former Unionist can beat the drum but has a somewhat unique ability to manage the press. Chambers has had a strong innings but has been the captain for some time.
So is it time for a change? After May 5th we will soon find out.
A Medway Labour Administration would surely lead to a change in Tory leadership
