Conservative campaign launched

This week the Prime Minister launched our General Election Campaign. 

We will unleash the potential of this country and get Brexit done.

We will make 2020 about the people of this country and not its politicians – rather than wasting 2020 on having two chaotic referendums on Scotland and Europe.

The parliament which has just been dissolved was stuck in a rut because there was no majority to get anything done – a majority Conservative government can get Brexit done, enable the country to move on and get Parliament working for you.

If we get Brexit done we can make this country the greatest place to live, to start a family, the greatest place to send your kids to school, to start a business, the place that leads the world in clean green technology.

A hung Parliament means more of the same confusion, more delay and more of the indecision which voters are sick of. Conservatives need to win just 9 seats more than in 2017 to win a majority, break the deadlock in Parliament, Get Brexit Done, move the country on and unleash Britain’s potential.

Only the Conservatives can get Brexit done and get on with our project of sensible moderate, but tax cutting, one nation conservatism, spreading opportunity and hope across the whole UK. Let’s unleash the potential of this country.

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.
