    The Grantham and Stamford Conservative Association is preparing to select its candidate and will tonight ask Nick Boles if he wants to be readopted.

    Mr Boles told the Sunday Times he will not reveal whether he intends to stand, saying he will make up his mind when he is fit and ready.

    He added he doesn't want to give the group the opportunity to deselect him

    Chairman Phillip Sagar says it's about getting ready for the next election.

    Nick has made it more difficult for himself by attacking his own association. We don't tell him what to do, that's not how our democracy works but we do select and endorse a person as the Conservative candidate."
