If there were ever any suggestion that the Conservative Party was taking victory for granted it would surely have been dispelled on Monday when 15 senior MPs and shadow ministers descended on the Eltham constituency to knock on doors and deliver leaflets!
I have always said this will be a tough contest against...

It's Mothering Sunday and I hope if you're a mum you're being spoilt rotten today! Sadly, my mum died 5 years ago next month so for me it's simply a day to remember her great smile.

I have returned from the Conservative Spring conference. I had expected a busy weekend but was actually quite surprised by how many meetings I managed to fit in with organisations keen to speak to what they consider to be the next generation of Conservatives. One of them was Prostate Uk. I was delighted to offer them my support, especially when I realised how many men in the...

Spencer write “As February draws to a close, the Labour Party in Greenwich and Woolwich have clearly decided they ought to deliver the odd leaflet just to look like they might be interested in the electorate with an election in the near future. Each leaflet contains a range of distortions and misleading statements, but one that is being scattered around Blackheath Westcombe ward...
