When I announced two years ago that I would be finishing up as a Cllr, I got lots of nice tweets, emails and letters.

But only one national politician sent me a card (a nice one it was too).

A post-COVID pint or coffee if you can guess who.

Imagine you might need a clue or two
Clue 1: not in the Social Democrats
Clue 2: This was a big surprise. Not someone I would have expected.
Clue 3: This person is neither on nor of the left.
Clue 4: This person seems very unpopular of late on my timeline.
As @ChristoDram has guessed, it was Neale Richmond.

I was in college with him but didn’t know him at all - may have spoken once or twice, I remember him being a big rugby man. I also saw him boxing once.

We don’t share much in common politically but it was a nice gesture!
