Tory’s Grand Designs on Ealing | |||
Shadow Chancellor George Osborne Guest of Honour at Pitzhanger Manor Party
Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne was guest of honour at a black tie Tory party that made it clear Ealing is firmly in the party’s sights for the next election. Pitzhanger Manor on Mattock Lane was the fittingly grand backdrop for the celebration of Angie Bray’s selection as Conservative candidate to fight the new parliamentary constituency of Ealing Central and Acton, deemed a ‘critical marginal’. Osborne offered the Conservatives of Ealing a deal “You do what you can locally and we’ll do what we can nationally to get her (Angie) in.”
And to round off the evening there was an auction – money from which will help fund the Ealing election campaign. As well as reaching into their pockets, Osborne called for supporters to hit the streets. “This is a highly winnable seat, but to do it we need to raise money and we need feet on the ground.” February 9, 2007
