THE Right Honourable Michael Howard QC MP was the guest speaker at this year’s Sutton Coldfield Conservative Association annual dinner which took place on Thursday November 12 at Sutton’s Town Hall. The former leader of the party told the town’s Tories: “The country needs a General Election and a fresh start.” The event was attended by nearly 200 people from Sutton Coldfield and nearby associations. Also attending the event were Sutton councillors, local members and Birmingham City Council leader Mike Whitby. The fund raising raffle made nearly £1,000 for the Sutton Coldfield Conservative Association. Andrew Mitchell MP said: “Sutton Coldfield Conservatives are united in their determination to get rid of this tired and discredited Labour Government. “To give people hope for the future, the country needs to change direction. “The Conservative Party is united, determined and ready to deliver the tough and radical change Britain needs to rebuild our broken economy, mend our broken society and fix our broken politics.” |
