The fight of our lives

Boris Johnson has finally achieved his life’s ambition. The votes of just 160,000 Tory Party members (that’s less than 0.3% of the UK’s electorate) have secured for him the keys to Number 10. And with the keys, the Brexit mess he and his fellow hardline Brexiteers have created: a divided country, an imploding party and a dangerously uncertain future for Britain in Europe, and in the world. Boris Johnson has come full circle - he created the Brexit shambles, now it is time for him to own it.

Love Britain? Stop Brexit!

Voters are embracing positivity, the Lib Dems and remaining in the EU.

When the local government election results came in on 3rd May – over 1300 seats lost by the Tories, the Labour party failing to capitalise on the Tory collapse and losing over 80 of their own Councillors, and over 700 won by the Liberal Democrats – did you look at them and think that’s an electorate telling Theresa May to “get on with Brexit”? No, me neither.

Here we go again.

Another Telegraph article from Dominic Raab and another blatant tilt at the Tory leadership, all dressed up as serious policy making. No mention of the Tory government’s shameful nine-year record that has exacerbated the housing crisis in the UK.

16,000 of Raab’s constituents have signed the “Revoke Article 50” petition

A week is a long time in politics, even at a time of stability and good government. Now, it feels like an eternity. Less than a week ago, the Prime Minister addressed the nation and told them “I am on your side”. Since then, over five and a half million people have signed the petition to revoke Article 50 and over a million people took to the streets of London on Saturday on the People’s Vote March.

Cash crisis hits Esher and Walton schools

A mum of four, as well as a Vice Chair of Governors at a local school, I’ve seen how Tory funding cuts are impacting our schools at first hand.

Why so gung-ho about 'no deal' Dominic Raab? Your constituents aren’t so sure and your figures don’t stack up!

On 14th January 2019, the day before voting against his own Government’s Withdrawal Agreement, Dominic Raab gave a speech at the Centre for Policy Studies about his vision for “a bright future for small businesses, workers and consumers” in a post-Brexit UK.

Heathrow Consultation

The Liberal Democrats have long been opposed to a third runway at Heathrow. While there is a need for increased airport provision given increasing efforts to open global mobility and trade in the UK, the Liberal Democrats have argued that Heathrow is the wrong place to do it.

A letter from Ben Bartlett, Headteacher, Hinchley Wood School

Local schools face funding crisis - a letter from the headteacher of Hinchley Wood School.
In short, schools are still not being provided with adequate funding and resource to deliver the level of provision and support that is expected and that our families and children deserve.
