Tories keeping it clean

SIGN up . . . chairman of the Conservative Party Baroness Warsi joins the party’s Oldham East and Saddleworth candidate Kashif Ali in signing the pledge

CHAIRMAN of the Conservative Party, Baroness Warsi, joined the party’s Oldham East and Saddleworth candidate Kashif Ali in signing a pledge to keep their campaign clean.

During a visit to the borough, the baroness signed the Clean Campaign Pledge along with Kashif, which promises to refrain from personal attacks, make honest promises and fight a clean and positive campaign.

Baroness Warsi said: “After everything that’s happened in Oldham East and Saddleworth, the last thing we need now is underhand behaviour in our election campaign.

Kashif Ali said: “Signing this pledge will allow us to focus the debate on what really matters to people — issues of policy — rather than on unhelpful smears and personality politics.”
