More details have emerged of Andrew Cumpsty's election as Tory Group Leader. After winning the crucial vote at Monday's meeting, he gave the blue rinse brigade a rousing victory speech.

"I'd like to thank my colleagues who have made this day possible. There are too many to mention, but I'd like to give special thanks to Fred and Rik, without whom I wouldn't be where I am today. Is your Dad proud of you Rik? He's never said so has he, son? Now back to my manifesto. Simple. Reading Conservatives, it's my gaff, my rules. And where would we be without rules, eh? That's right, Islington. And where would we be with too many rules? Swindon. And where would we be with laws that favoured cyclists? Cambridge. And where would we be with laws that allowed animal fighting? You've got it, Whitley."

Mr. Cumpsty then invited the Tory group for some celebratory drinks, pints for the men and a fruit based drink or a white wine for the ladies, followed by a few Queen songs on the karaoke. Rik Willis however refused to join in on the chorus of 'Another One Bites The Dust' citing a sore throat and a bruised ego.
