 Welcome to my blog. I am a former local journalist who now works in PR and a Conservative and community activist in Woking and Horsell. This blog will keep updated on local issues as well as my interests and quirky news stories.    |
Labour’s manifesto yesterday gave a pretty clear message – we are tired and incompetent but we’ve got a few bottom-of-the-barrel ideas left to promise you that we haven’t got around to during our 13 years in government; and more to the point, aren’t you worried about what the Tories will do?

The fact that [...] DC has plenty to think about – but voters still don't want Gordon Brown as PM There’s no mystery as to why the Conservative lead in the polls has narrowed.
