"I was saddened this week while watching the news to see many people looking desperate and frustrated. No, not an under developed country who take foreign aid, but the hard-working small business owners in Cornwall and Devon who have been hit so hard by the appalling weather.
George Osborne recently gave a speech setting out the long-term economic plan that the Conservatives are working through – below is an outline of what that means for you and for Britain.
My name is Scott Mann I am a postman and Cornwall Councillor in Wadebridge and in January I was selected to be the Prospective Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for the 2015 general election. I'm 36 years old, I'm married and have a nine year old daughter. I live in affordable housing in Wadebridge. I am proud to have been born in Cornwall and delighted to have been selected to run for parliament in the area I was born and raised. I am not a career politician, I have worked two jobs since the age of 17 and I understand how difficult it can be trying to raise a family and pay a mortgage in Cornwall.
