Mel Stride Young Conservative lunchtime event in Exeter

Mel Stride has kindly agreed to come have an audience with our Young Conservatives. Event subsidised by Devon area Conservatives. First drink and nibbles included, tickets just £5 for under 26 years. (Other tickets available for members but Limited, please bring a YC!)

Rt Hon Mel Stride, MP for central Devon, is shadow chancellor of the exchequer. Known for his hard hitting criticisms of the current labour government and in particular some of the ill advised policies of Rachel Reeves.

In this intimate venue in Exeter with a car park and local transport nearby, our Devon YCs can participate in a riveting and rare Q&A conversation with not only Mel, but our Devon area officer team, and second guest James Wright.

James will be discussing our fortunes at the previous election and his stance on politics from the viewpoint of being a farmers spokesman, a key member of the Conservative rural forum, a previous candidate at the general election, and a regular contributor on GB news.

First drink and nibbles included, venue and event details will be in the confirmation email after you book.

Come make your voice be heard, with 2 of the popular figures amongst Young Conservatives today.

Please note tickets are severely limited so please buy yours swiftly!

Nb as has been advised to existing purchasers, Robert Jenrick notified us that he sadly had to be detained in London for the assisted dying vote which labour unfortunately put on a rare Friday session in the Commons. Please contact organiser Debbie Flint on fundraising@Devon area Conservatives .org. uk , to discuss options and further details.

Sir Mel Stride is a British politician who has served as Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer in Kemi Badenoch's Shadow Cabinet since November 2024. He has been the Member of Parliament for Central Devon since 2010. Prior to entering parliament, Mel had a strong background in business, and in previous Conservative government was Secretary of State for work and Pensions, and then held high up positions connected with the treasury. He is a staunch advocate of conservatism to obtain growth, and has appeared more than most senior members of the party, in the media giving his views before and after the election in 2024.

Hosting the Q&A with Mel Stride - Jack Barwell. Thanks to the Exeter Conservatives including Samuel Tough, for all their help in arranging this event.
