Mr Double, also a town councillor and current Deputy Mayor of St Austell, said: "I am incredibly honoured and delighted to have been selected as the next Parliamentary candidate for the Conservative Party for St Austell and Newquay.

"I am very grateful to everyone who has supported and encouraged me along the way."

He continued: "This area has been my home for my whole life and it is a place I love and care about.

"I now look forward to working with and for local people in the campaign for the next General Election."

And he had a warning shot for current MP Mr Gilbert: "I have had a Liberal as my MP since I was eight. It's time to change that."
