Meeting our 3 Euro election candidates in Newcastle last Saturday

Conservative MEPs are delivering for Britain in the EU parliament.
They have managed to
- secured a historic budget cut = the first ever reduction of the EU budget. 
- cut red tape and secured exemptions for small businesses 
- reformed the fisheries policies to end the immoral discarding of healthy fish
- led the campaign to prevent the travelling circus to Strasbourg
- strengthened language requirements for medical professionals coming to the uk
- avoided the euro bank bailout
- a referendum lock on further power transfers
Only the Conservatives are actively negotiating the powers of the EU and getting us a better deal.

It was good to hear from Martin Callanan, who does a great job as our MEP, and the two other candidates Ben Houchen and Andrew Lee. We have 7 months until the EU election on May 22 and I shall be campaigning hard for Martin and the team.

For those who have not heard Martin speak there are still places at our dinner in Hexham on Saturday November 16, which is taking place at the Hexham racecourse.
