In December 2019 the electoral landscape of Britain was redefined. The red wall was dismantled, as traditionally Labour-supporting seats voted conservative for the first time. This event will bring together two of the starring characters in the red wall. Lee Anderson is a former miner and ex Chief of Staff to the Labour MP for Ashfield. He’s now the Conservative MP for that same seat. Jonathan Gullis was a state school teacher who conquered Stoke on Trent North – the centre of the ceramics industry.

These are two of the most popular members of the 2019 Conservative intake, who now represent working class communities in former industrial and mining towns. Outspoken, common-sense driven and brilliant performers, for the first time they will come together to do an event for a Conservative association. The event is being hosted by Bolsover MP, Mark Fletcher, who, in 2019, historically beat the Beast of Bolsover, who was the local MP for 49 years, and is delighted to welcome two of his best friends in parliament to his home constituency and introduce them to our local conservative team, as well as other guests passionate about keeping the red wall blue.

How did we win seats in the red wall? What are the issues that matter? Where is the Conservative party going next? You can ask them anything.

Come along for this historic night with two of the fastest rising stars in the modern Conservative Party.
