RSS feeds and news syndication
You can read the latest news from our site and from the Conservative Party using your news reader or display them on your own website using RSS (Rich Site Summary) XML documents wherever you see the orange RSS symbol.
What is RSS?
RSS is a defacto XML standard invented by Netscape for news distribution, now adopted by thousands of sites. RSS is an open format that uses a simple set of XML tags to define a news "channel" that allows any site to provide basic meta-information about your new content (headline, link, description).
