The Most Important Issue in UK Politics

It's fair to say that UK politics has a lot of problems right now, and those who know me probably know that I believe many of those issues surround the Conservative party. But what is the most important issue in UK politics right now?

It’s On!

In case you've been living under a rock, the famously-absentee Member of Parliament for my neighbouring constituency of Uxbridge & South Ruislip resigned in what I can only describe as a fit of pique.  He had been facing the judgement of the committee of privileges over his conduct surrounding Partygate, and the expectation at the mo

Face Masks and Personal Responsibility

I had to go into a hospital today (nothing major for me, in case anyone wonders!) and I was genuinely surprised by something. Only around one person in every five was wearing a face mask, despite these being given out for free at every entrance. This really made me think about personal responsibility and how

Labour vs Conservative – Economy

I was told recently that the economy always underperforms with a Labour government. I decided to check whether this was true.

Tax Evasion by MPs

Picture of Nadhim Zahawi from Wikipedia

Apparently the Conservatives have released yet another poster filled with lies.

We are very lucky to have a number of people working for the local party at Hillingdon Liberal Democrats, in addition to some great support from the national party. Those people keep us going.

Santa and Immigration

Serial flouter of immigration and customs laws.

Who does Santa think he is? Coming here every year from his home in Lapland, without a visa and without paying any import duties on the goods he brings to the UK. On top of that, he consumes a vast amount of mince pies and sherry, and he feeds his reindeer an entire crop of UK-grown carrots, then he swans off back home
