The Conservatives have selected Joel Davidson as their constituency candidate for the Brent and Harrow GLA constituency. Davidson is a Brondesbury Park councillor and belongs to one of the two Conservative groups on Brent Council.Davidson is often controversial. Apart from his campaign against a homeless hostel in Brondesbury Park he called for Brent Council to stop funding the Tricycle Theatre as a result of their decision not to accept Israeli Embassy funds for the Jewish Film Festival (a decision later reversed) LINK
He is a contributor to Conservative Home and as a newly elected councillor turned down the ipad and iphone distributed to all councillors. LINK
I have not heard whether he will resign as a councillor as he is standing for the GLA. Meanwhile Twitter warned me that a tweet about Davidson contained 'sensitive material'.
