Julian Brazier is our local MP. I've passed it on to a Kent based journalist so may discover whether this is a countywide issue or just restricted to this particular office.

Yesterday evening I received an email from the local Conservative candidate in the police commissioner elections. Clearly concerned about the impact Ann Barnes is having, his team set out the arguments against state funded leaflets for the candidates. However, it appears that his team had obtained email addresses from the local Member of Parliament's office, without the permission of those on receipt of his promotion material. You can see a copy of the email sent out here alongside my thoughts: http://wp.me/p1S3Re-jH Not sure at this stage if the contact details have been obtained from one MP's office, or from office's across the county. I've heard reports others had received the same email, but they were all from within my local area. Will be interesting to see how widespread this is. Also raises concerns about the calibre of a candidate whose team appear to have breached data protection laws.
