Final day at conference was a busy one for various reasons with lots of media interviews going on throughout the day. First of all I met with Granada followed by an interview for BBC Radio Manchester with Andy Crane regarding the Post Office workers decision to strike (pictured awaiting the decision). My final interview was at the BBC at Oxford Road at 6pm on their Five Live programme.
Of course there was the main event of the day at 2.30 with David Cameron’s speech. The picture is of me just before David came on, I was sat on the stage behind David along with the Shadow Cabinet and a group of other Candidates. For me David covered all the right things from Afghanistan to family breakdown and the NHS. Let no one doubt David’s committment to any of these causes. I was also really pleased to hear David voice his support for continuation of Sure Start Centres which the Bolton Labour Party have constantly tried to say otherwise. Basically scaremongering parents of children who attend along with staff from the centres.
Well role on the General Election next May when I plan to lead a positive and thoughtful Campaign….I can only hope my opposition do the same.


I do not trust any government schemes. We were all encouraged to
take out a private pension. Then Brown steals 5billion a year out of it. But I have not heard any conservative ministers talk about giving it back to us. The whole scheme sounds like a lottery.
My wife and I are confortable in our retirement but what if some couples have not got sixteen thousand in the bank?
We feel let down by the Conservatives over europe and the voting public will not forget when the elections take place next year.
The Conservative party have not pushed Labor hard enough. You
should not have been shouting for a referendum. You should have
been screaming for one.
We are now “Prisoners of Europe” and “It’s a Life Sentence”
Ministers were up in arms when the British National Party won some seats. They won those seats because the British public have lost patience with the three major parties.
Britain is now a third rate country. Thanks to politicions.
