Just a couple of years ago local MP Jesse Norman was regarded as one of the rising stars of the Conservative party. However, that rise has been halted today as it has been announced Jesse Norman has been sacked as a government adviser after abstaining in last week's vote on military intervention in Syria.

Mr Norman orchestrated the successful rebellion against government plans to reform the Lords, then last week he decided to abstain from the vote.

A government spokesperson has told the BBC that when it came to party control, there were consequences for not voting with the government.

The government's failure to win the vote, which meant Britain has had to withdraw an offer of military support to the US, has caused one of the most serious crises of Mr Cameron's time in office.

We will have more on this in next week's Ross Gazette.
