Marcus Jones has been unanimously chosen to be the Conservative candidate for Nuneaton at the election to be held on 8th June.

Speaking at the selection meeting, Marcus said: "It has been a great honour to represent my home-town in Parliament for the last seven years and, with the support of the people of Nuneaton, I hope to have that privilege for the next five years too.

"This election offers one of the clearest choices ever: a Government, led by Theresa May, determined to deliver the best possible Brexit deal for the UK or a weak and unstable coalition government led by Jeremy Corbyn, propped up by the Liberal Democrats, who want to re-open the divisions of the referendum, and Nicola Sturgeon and the SNP is appalling – we must act now to stop them.

"You may have seen recent opinion polls suggesting that the outcome of the election is a foregone conclusion.  The fact is, opinion polls have been spectacularly wrong before and the only votes that count are those put in the ballot box. We must get the message out so that local people understand that every single Conservative vote is a demonstration of support for strong and stable Conservative leadership in the national interest.

"I am looking forward to setting out our Party's proud record of achievement over the last seven years and our positive vision for the future of Great Britain - with your support we can ensure that the progress we have made is not put at risk by Labour."
