I'm mentioned in today's PR Week which has a short diary story about former BNFL press officer Jamie Reed being elected in Copeland to replace retiring MP Jack Cunningham who has been elevated to the House of Lords. It also says:

"But more intriguing is Labour's selection process for the seat last February.

Stuart Bruce of Bruce Marshall Associates informs us he was one of four people on an all-PR shortlist alongside Bell Pottinger board director and former special adviser to Cunningham, Tim Walker, and Thomas Docherty, another BNFL PR man."
