Amid controversy of SW Tory MP’s expenses, the Agent of one of them gets herself elected as our Police & Crime Commissioner!

For a short time you can hear the debate before the election, that Laurence Reed chaired. I asked the 1st question but if you listen on, I challenged Alison Hernandez when she was talking about the Police & Crime Commissioner taking over Cornwall Fire Service Police and Crime Commissioner debate
