Conservative Party Review

"Following a 10 month consultation across all sections of the Party and country, I’m pleased to be able to update you on the recommendations of the Conservative Party Review.

The Review Panel was composed of representatives from all areas of the Party: volunteers, councillors, MPs, MEPs and Peers. 25 Panel meetings for Party Members have taken place across the country, more than 60,000 people took part in an online survey, and thousands of submissions have been made to the Panel.

Members across the country have engaged with the consultation, united in our common desire to answer the question of how we succeed and grow in the twenty-first century. These recommendations came about because the Party had an honest, respectful and well-meaning debate amongst itself about the condition of our organisation and its future.

Tasked with looking at how the Party works and how to ensure it is in the best possible shape to win elections, whether local or nationwide, for years to come, the Panel identified three main areas where reform is needed: membership administration, Party structure and candidates.

We will continue to consult on the Panel’s recommendations over the coming months and I would welcome your feedback.

With best wishes,


Andrew Feldman



The Rt. Hon. the Lord Feldman of Elstree
Chairman of the Conservative Party"

Nick Herbert on his visit to flood hit areas of Cumbria

Please note that the post below was published more than ten year ago on 21st November 2009 Nick Herbert MP, shadow cabinet member for the Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs, was in Cumbria this morning to see the areas affected by the flooding. He writes on Conservative Home about his visit. Here is an extract. I’ve been in Cumbria today to see the areas affected by the floods. I arrived early in Keswick where I met officials from the Environment Agency. Although the river levels had fallen considerably and homes were no longer flooded, the damage to homes had been done. And the water which had got into houses wasn’t just from the river – it was foul water which had risen from the drains. I talked to fire crews who were pumping flood water back into the river, and discovered that they were from Tyne & Wear and Lancashire. They had been called in at an hours’ notice and had been working on the scene ever since, staying at a local hotel. You cannot fail to be impressed by the

Quotes of the day 19th August 2020

"Wise men profit more from fools than fools from wise men; for the wise men shun the mistakes of fools, but fools do not imitate the successes of the wise."  ( Cato the Elder , who lived 234 BC - 149 BC, quoted in "Lives" by Plutarch.) There is a similar saying by Germany's Iron Chancellor, Otto von Bismarck: Benjamin Franklin is supposed to have put the same saying in a more humorous form: "Wise men profit by the mistakes of others, while fools will not learn even from their own blunders." See also this thread on the "Quote Investigator" website . Let us all be wise and learn from the events of the last few days.

Quote of the day 24th July 2020

I was moved to put the passage below forward as a quote today when I saw a horrible post on twitter from someone writing that it was "excellent" that someone who took a different view from her about Brexit had died. I won't write which way round it was so that all the Remain supporters can assume the post was from a Brexit fanatic welcoming the death of a remainer and all the Leavers can assume it was a Remainiac welcoming one less Brexiteer. There's been plenty of nasty stuff on both sides but if you catch anyone of your own viewpoint  posting something like that who might listen to you, please do call them out on it - and point out that they're giving everyone on your side of the argument a bad name. Anyway, here's the quote from John Donne.
