Conservative Candidate for Watford.
Dean says “Now that my Parliamentary office has been emptied, my pass has been deactivated, my meetings have begun on my team’s redundancies and winding down has started, I felt it would be the right time to write my final post (for now at least) with some distance from the election result.
“Despite the result, I continue to feel gratitude for everyone who supported me at the election and over my four and a half years as your MP.
“I never took the role as MP lightly and I continue to feel honoured to have represented this great town and country for the past 4 or so years – so I won’t be complaining, and I also won’t be finger-pointing blame either.
