I want to congratulate new Wyre Forest MP Mark Garnier as Worcestershire turned blue on May 7th. The recent General Election saw 4 new Conservatives seats join Bromsgrove and Mid Worcestershire’s Peter Luff giving Worcestershire 6 Conservative MP’s in total out of 6.
In all there were 5 new Conservative MP’s elected. The Bromsgrove seat was returned to the Conservatives by Sajid Javid following the resignation of Julie Kirkbride. Harriett Baldwin won West Worcestershire, Robin Walker won Worcester and Wyre Forest saw Mark Garnier take the seat.
Another big surprise …

On Monday 8th March I joined the Conservative pre election rally for Mark Garnier at Margaret Thatcher House (MTH). Mark Garnier the PPC ‘electrified the audience’ at the pre election rally and in the process helped motivate the team to get stuck in and campaign hard towards what will be a ‘hardfought’ and ‘much needed’ conservative victory at the General Election.
The event was a resounding success with a packed hall of activists, Councillors and party members. Those present …

Monday 11th January saw the launch of the new Geneva Call Centre in Coleshill, Birmingham with Party Chairman Eric Pickles cutting the ribbon and kick starting the West Midlands new addition to the campaign.
The event was attended by CFers from across the West Midlands, and proved to be another fine example of how CF supports the Party whenever needed.

Arctic snow conditions did not stop a week of work experience for young local people organised last week by Jesse Norman, the local Conservative parliamentary candidate.
In all, eight young people, many of them studying politics or economics, were involved in the pilot programme. They came from across Herefordshire, including Ross-on-Wye, Longtown, Orcop, Leominster and Hereford City.

On Friday Birmingham University CF hosted Anthea McIntyre and Daniel Dalton, prospective Conservative candidates for the European Parliament in the West Midlands, on campus.
Both candidates opened themselves up to questions from any students, of any political persuasion, interested in learning more about the European elections, the Conservative European position, and the personal objectives of both Dan and Anthea, were they to be elected. From the outset, it is hard to deny that their open and direct answers to a pretty intense stream of questioning were convincing, humble and above all, honest.
Students …
