We’re all working hard for change



Over the last few weeks, my colleagues in Conservative Future have organised and coordinated numerous campaign days and key party events. Once again, Conservative Future activists have proved that they are a serious, organised and professional force for change. I believe that Conservative Future activists are a huge asset to the party and the wider campaign force, which is working together to show voters that the Conservative party has fresh ideas, a strong work-ethic and a serious plan for change in our country.

As the Student Life tour nears kick-off, I look forward to meeting our huge activist base across campuses in the UK and will do everything I can to support your efforts.

When I first started Sullivan’s Diary, I never expected it to be such get this big. The site is now clocking up over 120 unique hits a day and I’m delighted so many activists have been in touch to discuss campaign planning and how London Conservative Future can help their branches across the capital.

Lets work together to send a message to Gordon Brown and this rotten Labour Government that the Conservative Party will work hard and listen to voter concerns and is offering voters a chance for change they can believe in.

London CF Calls contacts Hereford through GenEVA


On Monday evening over 20 of our members from London Conservative Future attended a telephone canvassing session at CCHQ with Jesse Norman, PPC for Hereford. The team spoke to hundreds of local residents about concerns, issues and questions they have about the local area, securing a large amount of new Conservative pledges.

After an initial introduction and brief about the campaign and constituency, the team hit the phones talking to local residents. The turnout was so large that several activists had to wait their turn to make use of CCHQ’s state of the art GenEVA telephone canvassing studio.

It was absolutely fantastic to see so many committed activists helping a key PPC in a top target seat using GenEVA.

Students 4 Change

The Student Life Tours are back – and this term they’re going to even more of our branches!

These events start again in October and will be visiTting branches in Manchester, Newcastle-under-Lyme, Norwich, Leeds, Durham, London, Nottingham and Cambridge.

The purpose of these events is to introduce students to the organisations and ideas that make up the wider conservative movement. This will illustrate that CF is indeed a political youth organisation which is willing to deal with big ideas and cares deeply about the message of freedom.

All the events will have speakers from the Taxpayers’ Alliance, NO2ID and the Freedom Association, amongst others.

These tours give us the opportunity to engage Students with the wider conservative movement and show them that all the exciting thinking is coming from the centre-right. Furthermore, I expect the message of freedom which is the common amongst all our panellists will resonate with our audiences.

We Need a Campus 4 Change




As part of the lead up to my Student Life Tour across many UK Universities, I have written another article for leading political publication Keep Right Online.

University season is just around the corner and the majority of young people are already disillusioned and disappointed with Gordon Brown and his crumbling Labour Party. Gordon Brown’s catastrophic debts and ultra high taxes have left young people and their supportive families out of pocket and out of options when it comes to get a decent education.

GenEVA 4 Herefordshire



After a very successful Geneva campaign evening in August for Burton and Uttoxeter, the next will be for Jesse Norman, who is fighting the key target seat of Hereford and South Herefordshire.

Because Jesse is fighting a notional majority of just 1,297, this is a great opportunity to help take back from the Lib Dems a seat they have held since 1997. We will be telephone canvassing for two hours from GenEVA, within Conservative Central Headquarters.

Pizza, snacks and wine will be provided as we campaign, and training will be offered for those who haven't used the (very easy to learn) Geneva system in the past.

We will be meeting at 6.15pm for 6.30pm in the lobby of CCHQ. If you would like to come but can't be there until later, please let me know.

The nearest tube stations are Westminster and Pimlico.
