The BBC have revealed today the massive news that Nicola Sturgeon has had a makeover as it gets closer to voting day for the Independence Referendum. I wonder what Nigel Farage is doing to beautify himself?

Exclusive: CF Strategy Team Announced


Alexandra Paterson has announced the wider CF strategy team which will help bring the Conservatives to victory in 2015 and also make CF a very successful organisation. This among other future plans for CF were decided last night at the 'most successful national executive meeting ever'.


Paterson exclusively told #ThingsElliottSays "Following on from last night's successful National Executive and Leadership Team meetings at CCHQ ... the following appointments to the Strategy Team:

NUS Officer: Eimhear Macfarlane
Training Officer: Ben Woodward
CF Women: Aisha Vance-Grimard
Constitutional Officer: Simon Harley
European Relationship Manager: Laurence Chacksfield
Social Action Officer: Sarah-Louise Cooper
Forward Planning Officer: James Price
Universities Officer: Calum James Stewart
Postgraduates Officer: Hamish Stewart
Fundraising Officer: Cordelia Roberts Evans
Internal International Events: Jon Wilson
Young Professionals: Michael Bull"


The last position for the national executive was also announced with Hannah Rawbone being appointed as the campaigns officer. Hannah exclusively told #ThingsElliottSays "I am thrilled to be part a great CF national executive. I’m confident under the leadership of Alexander Paterson we can take CF from strength to strength, recruiting more members and campaigning in seats that need our help. In an election year it is crucial we continue to campaign on the issues that really matter; telling as many people about our long term economic plan and playing our part in securing a conservative majority in 2015."

In the opinion of the majority of young  Conservatives #TeamPaterson has got off to a great start. One CFer has told #ThingsElliottSays "This is most likely to be the start of an era of CF doing something. An idea kindled by Oliver Cooper and realised in Alexandra Paterson. Like Margaret Thatcher and Keith Jospeh perhaps, but with more KFC."

Catching Up With Jane Hunt


#ThingsElliottSays have been catching up with Jane Hunt and the Nottingham Conservatives.

For the past few weeks we have been leafleting and completing local surveys in Leen Valley to hear from residents' views. #ThingsElliottSays is pleased to say that the locals are very supportive of Jane and have also raised a lot of important issues which need solving. The worst part of this whole thing is seeing how quickly the daylight is disappearing in the evening.

Jane has also launched her new website. She is so far focusing on three main campaigns. Jane's 'pot hole patrol' has been very popular. A lot of roads in Nottingham are in need of repair, in many places the Victorian cobbles are showing through. The Conservatives in Government have recognised the problem and have give an extra £617,446 to Nottingham to help.


Jane has said "Investing in Britain’s roads and infrastructure is a key part of the Conservatives’ long-term economic plan to secure a better future for Britain – and this is just one part of that. By fixing Britain’s roads the Conservatives are supporting local businesses, and making life that bit easier for the hardworking people in Nottingham who rely on them to get around."

Jane is also campaigning to get rid of the horrendously unfair Workplace Parking Tax that was introduced by the Labour City Council. This is not only causing business problems, which in turn effect wages and the amount of jobs, but is also meaning employees are often having to pay for parking at their own workplace. How unfair.


Jane has also come out in support of Robert Halfon MPs campaign to 'Stop the Hospital Car Parking Rip Off'. Jane and Rob Halfon is campaigning for hospital car parking in the UK to be free. Hospital car parking fees often effecting the most ill in society and are outrageously priced. The QMC has been highlighted as one of the worst hospitals in the country charging £4 for the first hour. This needs to stop. Jane has thus wrote a letter in the Nottingham Post saying "I am a supporter of reform of car-parking charges at our NHS hospitals, and recent events show we are seeing the change required."
Rob Halfon MP is backing Jane and her campaign in stopping outrageous charges at the QMC.

#RoadTrip2015 to Harlow


Whilst half of CF was at the EYC conference this weekend the real Conservatives were out campaigning for the great Robert Halfon MP. #Sound. The re-election of Rob Halfon is very important to the RoadTrip crowd because he is genuinely an amazing local MP and national campaigner. A true right-winger and someone who cares.

Newly elected CF Deputy Political Chair, Stephen Canning, was getting ready for a long day out helping Rob.



People had come far and wide to help out Rob in Harlow.







We were out again delivering copies of the Harlow Sun, which keeps all the residents up to date with the good news going on in their area. Rob had some great quotes in the paper from the Prime Minister saying how much of an asset he is.








Lunch in Harlow didn't disappoint, it was one of the best that has been had on a RoadTrip. There was also some great cakes.







Rob then gave a great speech thanking us all for coming. Rob is one of the kindest MPs in the country and he showed this over lunch.





And then we went out for the all important photos.











The photos outside were greeted by supportive beeps of horns from a number of drivers who then waved at us. Everyone wants to keep Harlow blue and Rob as an MP.

Sam and #ThingsElliottSays also got a special photo with Rob for Jane Hunt in Nottingham South. Jane has come out and backed Rob's great campaign to 'Stop The Hospital Car Parking Rip Off' and Rob has kindly offered help. Thanks Rob.


It was then off to do more campaigning for Rob in the afternoon.





There were however some naughty gnomes spotted in Harlow by activists.


And then to the pub.



Thanks goes to the organisers and Rob Halfon for putting on a great day for us all.

Exclusive: Robert Graham EYC Gaffe


South West CFer and Boris look a like, Robert Graham, really enjoyed the EYC conference this weekend. But the long conference seemed to take it out on dear Robert as he fell asleep during the 'fascinating lecture on the EU'. Robert was then called out and was shown up in front of the whole conference. I'm sure he has been taking inspiration from Ken Clarke.

 Keep up the branch creation Robert.
