Wollaston needs to retain the support of the local Tory association if she wants to be the Conservative candidate at the next election.  Given her track record of teaming up with a couple of other traitorous colleagues and voting against the government on key EU withdrawal bills, I wouldn’t say that support can be guaranteed. By the way, almost without exception, the electorate in the south ...

All those lorries, all that pollution.  Perhaps we should eat food that is more local to us.  When I was young we ate according to the season, it was no great hardship.

During the 70s & 80s parliament thought it right that the accused in sexual assault cases were granted anonymity, perhaps because those kind of allegations carry such huge social stigma that live with the accused for the rest of their lives, even if they are subsequently found innocent.  And, of course, there are the serial rape fantasists out there: ...
