A naughty Conservative Parliamentary wannabe is accused of using his council responsibilities to promote his private business interests. 

Scott Seaman-Digby displayed the logos of Hillingdon Borough Council and marriage guidance organisation Relate on his firm's website.

Seaman-Digby, who doubles up as the local authority's cabinet member responsible for corporate services and the boss of procurement consultancy Hawtrey Dene, likes to pose as a key David Cameron adviser.

As part of his council duties, he's a trustee of the local branch of Relate. Yet both the council and the charity say he had no permission to use their logos. Seaman-Digby denied any conflict of interest and told my friend Dave Osler there had been a "misunderstanding", both concerns benefiting from his professional procurement experience free of charge.

The logos disappeared after super sleuth Osler began sniffing around but the sleuth has a printout of the old site with them up.

Seaman-Digby is standing in Hayes and Harlington against Labour's John McDonnell who was one of the most independent, hardworking and refreshingly unspun MPs in the last Parliament.

The Tories are quick to point the finger at any Labour figure accused of the most minor transgression.
So the party shouldn't moan that a former Labour councillor, Anthony Way, plans to lodge a formal complaint with the local council's standards board.

"These extraordinary allegations need to be fully investigated," says Way, "and if they are true, Scott should stand down."
