Back to the Exe…
Filed Under Exeter, Surrey, Travelling... | Leave a Comment
I’m heading back to Exeter today for a couple of days before conference on Saturday. I want to go back, I love uni, but at the same time I don’t - I’ve realised in the last 3 weeks or so what matters, what is important, who to trust and that I have something back here [...]

New Addition to the Surrey Exec
Filed Under Branch Development, Campaign Days, Events, Surrey | 1 Comment
I’ve always said that I hate committees and positions for the sake of it and for that reason I have run Surrey as AC on my own for the most part since I took over.
In the recent couple of months Anthony Ridge Newman joined me as my Branch Development Officer because in my opinion that is [...]

I would like to thank London Spin (www.londonspin.blogspot.com) for their very positive notes about Saturday
It was so much fun and we covered such a large area, both Frank Young (Guildford agent) and Anne Milton MP are very happy and I’m eternally grateful for my fantastic volunteers.

Election Results
Filed Under By-elections, Surrey | Leave a Comment
I don’t have the exact results to hand but we were rather disappointed at the Stoke by-election last night; the Lib Dems won as expected with around 890, we recieved 414 and Labour around 200. It is the second least Tory ward in Guildford so a win was never on the cards and we did [...]

Stoke By-election
Filed Under By-elections, Surrey | 1 Comment
We have a council by-election in Stoke (Guildford) and today is polling day so after a manic week it is finally over. It’s unlikely we will win it despite best efforts by Frank Young and everybody else involved because it would take such a huge swing but it’s been great experience and somewhat tiring with [...]

REFORM REFORM REFORM
Filed Under CF Reform, NME, Surrey | 3 Comments
