Yesterday my day began at 5:30 in the morning, as a student I am not very accustommed to this, normally it is only if I decide to treck to some far distant place to watch a football game or unless I am coming back in from a night out!
However, I had to cram for my international relations exam, which began at 9:30, four hours later it finally finished and I hopped on a train to London with Theo for the ConservativeHome awards, on the train back we celebrated our victory with the champagne we had won, no expense spared from ConservativeHome it wasvintage Sainbury’s champagne, finally arriving in Birmingham at 10:30 only the seventeen hours after I had woken up!
It was a really enjoyable evening, and I am writing to say how welcome everyone made us feel. Often attending non CF events I sometimes find it can be quite hard work to be taken seriously and for anyone to have any time for us. This was certainly not the case last night it was really good to get the chance to talk to Tim Montgomerie, Sam Coates, Iain Dale and some of the great lads from Maida Vale Conservatives.
We would like to thank everyone who voted for us, and the complimentry comments that people have left on our threads, it really has been the icing on the cake, to the end of our second month as a committee.
We have some exciting developments in the pipeline for the blog as we look to expand onto the next level.
To quote the greatest PM of all time Winston Churchill, ‘this is not the end, it is not even the beginning of the end, it may well though just be the end of the beginning’.

Sainsbury’s had run out of the non-branded stuff sadly!
