Right, here goes. My first ever blog, and my first ever post.  I’m new this, so please bear with me.

As the address may suggest to you, this is a Tory leaning blog. I have been a member of The Conservative Party since my teens. As I’m now in my mid forties, it’s a relationship that has spanned thirty years.

As far as relationships go, it’s been the great love of mine. Has it been a faithful one? Yes, I’ve never strayed – not even flirted with other parties, even when they fluttered their lashes at me. And despite some distance at times, my party never left my side.

I use this as a little taster of what you will find to expect from my blogs. Add to this a little smidgen of influence from Greece (Nea Democratia) & Cyprus (D.I.S.Y.), then you can see what is going to come.

It will also be wrong to leave out observations and comment from my involvement with Andy Street in his bid to become the first elected Mayor of the West Midlands. I have been part of Andy’s core team since November 2016. Partisan politics aside, I am utterly convinced that the region to which I belong, the engine of UK, will not only benefit from an Andy Street mayoralty, but it will thrive. His vision, his ambition, his drive, his energy, his experience and his delivery of results, will be phenomenal for the West Midlands.

So enjoy!!!
