Among the news from our local MP in his latest bulletin
Chelsea and Fulham MP Greg Hands has been named as one of the Top 100 Most Influential People on the Right.
The top 100 was compiled during the Conservative Party conference by the Daily Telegraph, which also predicted a bright future for our local MP, saying: " The need to accommodate Lib Dems may have prevented Hands’ shadow treasury spokesmanship being converted into a government job last year, but he has remained part of Team Osborne as the Chancellor’s loyal, well-regarded and capable Parliamentary Private Secretary.
" A devotee of both Thatcher and Reagan (he was born in the US and campaigned for Rudy Giuliani when he lived in New York), a ministerial red box ought to be his before too long."
Mr Hands shares this news in his latest e-bulletin, which also details his busy week of activities at the conference, where he:
Addressed a joint meeting of the CityUK and ConservativeHome on how we can support jobs growth in the financial services industry
