JULIAN ELLACOTT

“The National Convention election campaign was hard work - speaking to lots of you up and down the country; but the real hard work only starts now. I’m going to work with the other four national convention officers:
- to strengthen the convention/Voluntary party as a whole
- to work alongside CCHQ and our Parliamentary party to make sure we learn the lessons of the election defeat
- to implement changes that will improve our position, strengthen our party and make sure we’re in a position to win the next general election.

I’d love to hear from you, our members, so do join us on November 1st in Devon."

GARETH STREETER - Historian and Author

Gareth Streeter is a Devon-based history writer. During the recent General Election, he was also the Conservative Candidate for Plymouth Sutton & Devonport.

When it comes to history, Gareth has a special focus on the Wars of the Roses and the early Tudor period. He is the creator of “Royal History Geeks”, a blog and social media experience that engages with 60,000 history lovers across Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.

In 2023, Pen & Swords history published Gareth’s first book, “Arthur, Prince of Wales”, a biography of the forgotten older brother of Henry VIII. Gareth is currently working on his next book, which is likely to hit bookshelves in 2025.

Gareth is passionate about telling the stories of the people that helped forge the United Kingdom. He is driven by a belief that by a profound understanding of our history – as a nation and as people – we can more adequately address the challenges of the future.
