Annunziata Rees- Mogg - Parliamentary Spokeswoman for Somerton and Frome Conservatives
 |
Annunziata Rees-Mogg was brought up in Somerset and London and lives at her family home in Mells, near Frome.
She has been a journalist for the last decade, including being a leader writer for the Daily Telegraph. Previously she was deputy editor of MoneyWeek and editor of the European Journal, the UK's leading eurosceptic magazine.
Before being selected for her local seat of Somerton & Frome, she had been an active Conservative Party member for over 20 years. She fought the last general election in Aberavon, South Wales, where she increased the Conservative vote by 34%
In 2003 she set up Trust the People, a campaign for a referendum on the European Constitution aimed at those too young to have voted in the Common Market referendum in 1975.
|
In early 2008 she helped the independent group "I Want A Referendum" to campaign in Somerton & Frome with a constituency-wide vote to pressurise the Government and Liberal Democrats to support a referendum, as they had promised in their 2005 manifestos. Sadly neither party did, leaving the Conservatives as the only party fighting for democracy as it had been promised.
Locally she has also been campaigning on keeping our local post offices, small schools, NHS facilities helping the environment and supporting local businesses and food producers. |
