Carole Dennett and Andrew Turner

Andrew Turner and Carole Dennett split

It has been reported that Isle of Wight Conservative MP Andrew Turner has separated from his partner, Carole Dennett.

The couple, who have lived together in properties in Cowes, London and currently in Newport have not given a reason for their split, but it’s reported Mr Turner has moved out of their five-bedroom property in Newport whilst Ms Dennett finds alternative accommodation.

Anonymous tip-off yesterday
OnTheWight received an anonymous tip-off from a ‘Burner’ email address yesterday afternoon. It read,

Where and why is Carole Dennett not in AT’s office ?
Is Carole Dennett leaving the Island now or after the Election ?
What is the situation re AT’s office expenses?
Have you seen who is going in and out of xxx House and where is AT living ?

Accusations of over-stepping role
The extent to which Carole Dennett has been speaking as the MP was questioned as recently as the end of November, when an IW Conservative insider said, “some association members have expressed concern at what appears to be the lack of direct comment from you in person.”

Well, despite the all the time and money wasted in the last investigation into the Ferry Companies, the only outcome that affects me is the fact that the fares have gone UP, yes UP.

The Libs Andrew Turner smears and lies didn’t work here, several I met this past few weeks told me to vote for Jill because Andrew wasn’t up to it or was only staying on for his pension. What rubbish, they just couldn’t accept he is the best man for the job. Turner puts 100% into serving us, that’s why he got such a terrific endorsement. Well done… Read more »

I can never understand why the IoW with a population of 160.000 has only ONE MP

Now Bolton in Lancs. with a population of
140.000 has THREE MPs

Now I do believe the IoW should have Two MPs. IoW West and IoW East – Just a thought.

Your numbers are wrong. Popultion of the Isle of Wight is approx 130,000, electerol rules stipulate ( I think) 145,000 before a second MP will be considered The Metropolital district of Bolton has a population of (about) 262,000. Bolton benefited in the last re-organisation of constituencies because of their being a Metropolitan area which includes some outlying areas as well. For electoral purposes the three constuencies of… Read more »

How can AT have a ‘terrific endorsement’ when over 50% of those of us who voted, voted for someone else?

No 5 is dead right, Turner is in it for himself, he couldn’t give a monkeys about the islad people. Why should he be bothered about ferry fares when he just claims them back on expenses. Wake up you 32000 your paying for it. Duh

Benny, quick question for you.

Would Jill not have claimed her travel costs if she had become the Mp? Do me a favour and ask her please :)

Quite pathetic sour grapes – in my humble opinion!
