The book to watch out for

If you are thinking of ordering a book, look no further than the excellent new novel 'Law and Peace' by Tim Kevan. It has been described as a funny, fast-paced Machiavellian romp through the legal world. It can be pre-ordered here.

North West Durham on Election Night.

Congratulations to Pat Glass MP, I wish her well in representing all of her constituents including those who voted for her, those who voted for others, and those who decided not to vote at all. The candidates in North West Durham fought a good clean campaign, showing you can disagree without being disagreeable, leaving the debate to be about policy rather than just personality. I wish Prime Minister David Cameron every success in leading our great country.

Voting for Number 10

If you want to see David Cameron walk into Number 10 tomorrow then don't forget to go out and vote Conservative today. We have our own Number 10 here in Wolsingham.

David Cameron Bear!

Our blue bear called David Cameron was a big favourite today in Consett. It was lovely to be part of the buzz surrounding the General Election process and meeting people who are going to be voting Conservative tomorrow.

I personally wanted to thanks the hundreds and hundrens of people I have spoken to out on the campaign trail in:

Cornriggs, Cowshill, Wearhead, St John's Chapel, Westgate, Eastgate, Townfield, Rookhope, Hunstanworth, Edmundbuyers, Muggleswick, Waskerley, Crawleyside, Stanhope, Hill End, White Kirkley, Frosterley, Wolsingham, Tow Law, Sunniside, Fir Tree, Howden-le-Wear, Witton-le-Wear, Hunwick, Willington, Crook, Castleside, Satley, Billy Row, Esh, Cornsay, Quebec, Langley Park, Lanchester, Burnhope, Shotley Bridge, Ebchester, Dipton, Knitsley and Consett.

The people of North West Durham are good honest hard working people who have been ignored for too long by the Labour Party. I hope they will vote for change and vote Conservative.

Campaigning - The Last Few Days

The Conservative campaign here in North West Durham has been going from strength to strength. Today the team (Margaret pictured here) were out campaigning in the centre of Crook - with David Cameron (our blue bear). The children adored him.

It has been such a great honour to meet the hundreds and hundreds of people on the doorstep. If I had a pound for every time I heard 'You're the first ever candidate who has ever called', Gordon Brown's debt would be greatly reduced. The Conservatives are not taking the voters for granted in the North East and I am very much looking forward to Election night. The choice is yours - Vote for change - Vote Conservative.

Supporting Local Business

Today the Conservative team were out in Shotley Bridge campaigning all day. Thank you all so much for your hard work - I know we all walked miles. This is a photograph of a wonderful local business, Savilles, that I would highly recommend. As usual it was the lovely people of North West Durham that really made our day.

Vote for Change - Vote Conservative

Election Address

Many thanks to all the people who have been contacting me about the Conservative North West Durham Election Address. It is clear that many people are concerned about the future of Shotley Bridge hospital. This photograph is of me visiting staff and patients in Shotley Bridge hospital. As my election address stated, having worked as a front line NHS doctor for a decade I would ensure that your health and Shotley Bridge Hospital are safe in my hands. David Cameron has pledged that the NHS is his number one priority. So, look out for more David Cameron support in the final week before the election as the Conservatives poll the Party most trusted with the NHS.

Conservative MP helps Campaign in Consett

A big thank you to Brooks Newmark MP for Braintree, who kindly helped out by joining our campaign team in Consett. We were delighted to get such a positive response. There was a clear message that the people of Consett are fed up of being taken for granted by the Labour Party. So, if you want change for the better - Vote Conservative on May 6th.

Move Over David cameron, Nick Clegg and Gordon Brown.

We are lucky enough to have a star living in our very own North West Durham constituency - five year old Cherry from Willington. I think she would steal the show at any leaders' debate - and I hope David Cameron, Nick Clegg and Gordon Brown all watch this for tips. The first quesion Cherry answers is: 'Should there be more people filling in forms or more doctors and nurses?'
