I was delighted to deliver a petition to the Prime Minister with the folks from the Herefordshire branch of the Campaign For Real Ale. 

From the moment I was first elected as your MP, I have been determined to achieve one thing above all else:  a fairer share of public funding for Herefordshire.  Every week my in-tray is filled with issues affected by the under-funding of public services.

I am delighted to be back on stand and writing this column again, after a brief summer hiatus.

Is it The Tudors, or Game of Thrones?  Julius Caesar or Macbeth?  The national media have been obsessing over how best to describe events in Westminster over the past two weeks. 

Whether you voted In or Out, June 23rd was a landmark in British politics. The Referendum decision to leave the EU was a clear one, which confounded the Government, pollsters, focus groups and betting markets alike. That was the verdict of 17.5 million voters, the largest single mandate in British history.

It’s now less than one week till polls open for the EU Referendum.

We are now down to the last three weeks of the EU Referendum campaign.  Amid all the fuss, two things have become fairly clear:  if the UK votes to Leave, there will be a hit to the economy, which could potentially last some time; while if it votes to Remain, we will have less control over immigration. 

Fans of the film Pulp Fiction will recall the moment that, as two hitmen ponder how to dispose of a decapitated body and a severed head with pools of blood everywhere, the doorbell rings. “Hi, I’m Winston Wolfe,” says Harvey Keitel.
