Spelthorne Liberal Democrats

Sir David Natzler, clerk of the House of Commons, has made comments that a Commons vote on a 'People's Vote' would still have "considerable political force".

Only the Liberal Democrats are united in fighting Brexit.

Whether a parliamentary vote on a 'People's Vote' amendment was legally binding or not, the PM could not disregard the result without a serious constitutional and democratic crisis.

The result of the EU referendum changed an awful lot: the Prime Minister, the economic outlook, Britain's political discourse and our standing in the world. But there are 3.6 million people whose lives have been affected more than most. These are the citizens of other EU countries who live in the UK.

It is heart-breaking that the epidemic of violent crime is claiming the lives of so many children.

A senior police office has now revealed that children as young as nine are being caught carrying knives.

We urgently need more police officers on our streets to restore the community policing that helps to prevent violent crime.

The delay in implementing a planned and much needed reduction in the maximum stake on fixed-odds betting terminals is completely unacceptable.

These machines are a blight on our society and undeniably damaging to vulnerable people.

The Government's inaction is ruining lives and they must not be allowed to continue making these excuses that only benefit bookmakers.

Philip Hammond tried to strike an upbeat note in his budget, declaring "austerity is over". Cossetted inside Westminster for the afternoon, he hid away from the storm clouds gathering over our economy.

Brexit is making the situation worse.

In truth, austerity cannot be brought to an end without difficult decisions involving an increase in taxation. Excluding the Government's promises on the NHS, maintaining real spending on public services will require an additional £19bn in extra tax and borrowing. And Brexit itself is making the situation worse.

Dear Resident,

We are writing as a number of residents in the area have been concerned with upcoming plans for the land at the end of School Walk next to the Scout hut and Hazelwood. A developer has earmarked the land for future use, but this risks the future of the right of way pedestrian path that has been used for many years.

In July 2016, in the aftermath of the referendum, the Liberal Democrats were a lone voice calling for a final say on whatever deal was done on Brexit.

Today, an estimated 700,000 people marched on the streets of London, calling for a people's vote on Brexit.

That makes it the biggest protest since the Iraq War.

Dear Resident,

Over the last few years I've been working hard with Tom Fidler and lots of local residents to get the best for Halliford & Sunbury West - By filling in this survey you will help us to ensure that we are working on the issues that matter most to you and your family.

We are always looking for people to get in touch and get involved in our campaigns. I've been working on improving our local parks, protecting and planting trees locally and campaigning to protect our area from over-development.
