IF you're following in the footsteps of David Cameron and Boris Johnson, it's not a bad platform to launch your political career.

Here's the first image of Mid-Worcestershire's Nigel Huddleston as he arrived at the Commons this week for a snap with his fellow new Conservative MPs.

The 44-year-old University of Oxford graduate was one of the big winners in last week's General Election, retaining it for the party with a huge 20,532 majority over UKIP in second place.

Mr Huddleston, who gave up his job as head of travel for Google to contest the seat, hails from Lincolnshire but moved to Badsey, near Evesham last year.

He is pictured here alongside 73 other new Tory MPs, on the third row placed in the centre near Boris Johnson's left shoulder and directly in line with the Prime Minister's right hand.

He said: "I have huge shoes to fill now and I will do my best to fill them."

The seat was vacated after Sir Peter Luff retired last month - with his previous majority of 15,864 rocketing.
