Thread: Wanted: More Wimin Tories as long as it’s not Annunziata Rees-Mogg

Rees-Mogg senior was a proper old school Tory that used to run the Times when it was a proper newspaper, rather than a variant on The Sun for aspiring middle class chavs. He was always the voice of reason and an inspiring read. Now his daughter looks OK and she entered into politics to become the Tory PPC for Somerton and Frome. There’s nothing ‘modern’ about her, which is a good thing. Actually if she were in my constituency I’d probably vote for her. So what has she done wrong? Check this.

The attitude of Central Office is shameful... I think my sister has been treated disgracefully by an unjust procedure that brings the party into disrepute. Traditionally the Candidates’ department was well run by an experienced MP and senior members of the voluntary party. It is now run by arrogant, discourteous apparatchiks.- brother of Annunziata Rees-Mogg

Adrian Hilton: Cameron


Yep, she has fallen out of favour with the apparatchiks.

As reported in The Mail on Sunday, in advance of the 2010 election David Cameron had asked Rees-Mogg to shorten her name for political purposes to Nancy Mogg. She refused, replying that "Nancy Mogg may be shorter but I would rather remain Annunziata Rees-Mogg."[10] This was reported widely, even in The Australian newspaper,[11] and Rees-Mogg later commented "I think it’s phoney to pretend to be someone you're not."[12] She has also commented that "When I became a journalist, they had to put my name in a specially small font to fit it on the page."

What a poor girl. In the mean time the Tories are slashing the number of good men and desperately seeking women, no matter who they are, as long as they don’t have a double-barrelled name or presumably have anything to do with Bill Cash either.

Dear Cllr Mrs. *******

Have you ever thought about becoming a Conservative Member of Parliament?

The purpose of this letter is to ask you to consider it. When David Cameron became Leader of the Party, he made it very clear that the Party had to change to better reflect our society. Huge strides have been made over the past five years and it was fantastic to see our largest ever intake of women MPs elected in 2010 – but we want to go further.

You are, I am sure, enjoying the rewarding work of being a councillor whether you are a group leader, a portfolio holder or a backbencher. You are able to command respect locally and win over people who may not be Conservative supporters. Many of our councils would simply not be able to function without the army of women councillors the length and breadth of the country!

The work of a Member of Parliament is very demanding, the hours are long but it is a vocation like no other. It is a huge privilege and responsibility to serve this great nation of ours and to play a part in our Government as we work to put the country back on its feet after thirteen ruinous years of Labour government. Our leaflet, “A Guide to becoming a Conservative MP”, is available on request. If you feel that you would like to pursue this, we would arrange for you to have an informal chat with someone from your Regional Office team and then you would be recommended for a PAB (Parliamentary Assessment Board). Once you were on the Approved List, you would take on a wider campaigning role and be ready to apply for seats for the 2015 General Election.

Please think carefully about this. If you would like to discuss it further or make an application, I or one of the team will be happy to talk it through with you, either in person or on the telephone. If, however, you feel that the time is not right for you or you would prefer to stay as a councillor, thank you for considering it – but our door is always open!

I look forward very much to hearing from you and thank you for all that you are doing for your council and local residents. If you are interested, please email us
atcandidateenquiries@conservatives.com including where you are a Councillor.

Yours sincerely,
CARLYN CHISHOLM
Chairman of the Committee on Candidates
