A right turn in Islington
Watch out Gordon Brown – traditional Labour territory is no longer a
safe electoral bet!
Marina Yannakoudakis took to the streets of Islington
to go canvassing in Bunhill Ward and said: "It has long been
held by Labour but now looks like one the Conservatives can
win."
She joined with candidates from the Conservative London North East
City Seats initiative. Marina was pleased to see how Islington
Conservative chairman Duncan Webster is leading an active and vibrant
organisation after a merger between the old Islington South and
Finsbury and Islington North associations in a reorganisation. |

A
clear code
on expenses |
Conservative
MEPs and candidates for the 2009 elections will sign up to a
new code on the use of expenses and allowances after action
by David Cameron.
This unilateral act will mean that, regardless of weaknesses
in the EU's rules, Conservatives will follow a stricter code.
Marina Yannakoudakis welcomed the code and said: "As a
party we have to work to restore the public's trust. I would
welcome Labour following suit on this and the LibDems too, who
have a new code but do not intend to implement it until 2009
when the rules will change anyway.'
Under the new code MEPs will have to submit expenses to
an independent accountant to certify that they comply with both
party and Brussels rules. |

Standby
for a visit from your London Conservative Euro campaign team!
The eight prospective MEP candidates met on July 19 to
agree on strategy for the 2009 elections.
A top priority will be meeting Conservative party members
across London and campaigning in as many associations as possible.
A conference on London's priorities in |
Europe will be held
at Canary Wharf on November 15 and
a major fundraising event is planned for January 2009.
The meeting helped build team spirit. Marina Yannakoudakis
said:
''Each member of the team offers an individual approach
which complements the whole. "I feel we have a strong, experienced
and professional team for 2009.'' |

| Magnificent
Mehfuz! |
 |
| Marina helped
Conservative candidate Mehfuz Ahmed in his successful
by-election battle in Church Street ward on Westminster
Council. Mehfuz won the election on July 24 with a majority
of 303. This ward has NEVER been Conservative before,
so all credit to Mehfuz and his brilliant campaign team.
