Ten Eleven CF-aged candidates selected for winnable seats

Jonathan Isaby, a familiar face at CF events, has used ConservativeHome selection data to highlight ten eleven (list updated with Mark Formosa - one of the original fast-tracked candidates in 2005) selected Conservative candidates of CF age (under 30):

James Wharton (Stockton South) - 23
Andrew Stephenson (Pendle) - 26
Nicola Blackwood (Oxford West and Abingdon) - 27
Annunziata Rees-Mogg (Somerton and Frome) - 27
Kevin Foster (Coventry South) - 28

Robin Walker (Worcester) - 28
Andrew Percy (Brigg and Goole) - 29
Mark Clarke (Tooting) - 29
Ian Oakley (Watford) - 29
Mark Formosa (Taunton Deane) - 29
