In no small part, this is down to the excellent work of Conservative Future branches across the region, many of which I have had the pleasure …

One of my first actions as North West Chair has been to create a new website for the region.

The site is open to all relevant contributions including information about campaign days, stories about successful events held by branches across the region and comment on the main …

Neil Wilson has just stepped down as Area Chairman for Merseyside. In this post he looks back on his time in charge and how successful CF in and around Liverpool now is:

It’s with some sadness that I’ve left Liverpool, and my post as Merseyside AC to head off for pastures new.

Merseyside has never been the easiest area for the party and Liverpool has been notoriously difficult in the last twenty years.

Last week Universities of Manchester Conservative Future once again embarked upon the rough seas that is political campaigning at the University of Manchester and Manchester Metropolitan University.

Over the three days of freshers’ fairs at both universities, around 20 different activists from the University and all over Manchester came down to help out at our three stalls, outgunning the Labour and the LibDems, who struggled to keep even one stall afloat.

On Wednesday 30 September the Conservatives became the only political party to be represented at the freshers’ fairs for all four universities in Greater Manchester. We capped off the season, which began the previous week with Manchester and then proceeded through Manchester Metropolitan and Salford, with a visit to Bolton University, a campus traditionally only the Conservatives have shown interest in engaging with. But with many of its students part-time, mature or from linguistic backgrounds other than English, it has proven a tough nut to crack.
Planning our visit, …

On the 20th August, David Cameron – on his tour of the North West – visited Cheshire & The Wirral. There was a great attendance from young activists all across the area.
After greeting David at the Ramada Jarvis Hotel in Chester and having photos taken for various papers, we went inside.
David made a speech which covered all manner of topics, such as the Conservative plans for Afghanistan, the NHS and helping the parents of disabled children. He then took questions from the floor.
I am sure all will agree, …

Neil Wilson and his team of Conservative Future activists in Liverpool richly deserve praise for the tireless campaign they’ve been leading. Neil has had his team out time and again, working hard to present the people of Liverpool with an alternative to Brown. His Facebook sums it up eloquently: “Labour STILL isn’t working.”
