Bardon Mill Drinks

An amazing day organised with military precision by John Galbriath - over 110 turned up to drink and eat delicious food. Bev gave a great introduction and I made a short speech. We were blessed with great weather. Met lots of poeple who are willing to help and get involved - our team of canvassers and deliverers grows literally daily. There is such a sense of optimism and desire in the party at the moment - a belief that things can change and a fundanmental desire to turn this country around. Everyone - party members and non members alike are passionately against Brown and much criticism from everyone of governments handling of Afghan campaign, country's finances and Brown generally. Brown is our greatest recruiting device - a lot genuinely hate him to the point of near apoplexy.

EURO ELECTION RESULTS



The campaign support team - Nick Holder and the Brown boys take the fight to the Liberals in West Hexham - who says it is never sunny in Northumberland!

RESULTS:
Well we live interesting times:
LABOUR = 147,338
CONSERVATIVES = 116,911
LIBERALS = 103,644
UKIP = 90,700
BNP = 52,700
GREEN = 34,081

1 MEP elected from each of the main three parties but the liberals got a hell of a fright from UKIP

As a former candidate in a westminster election in Wales can I just say what an incredible result it was for us to top the polls in Wales!!
