It brilliantly, and exactly, lays down what Westminster needs to do to regain the trust of the voters. I wish I had the talent to write as concisely as this, Heather. I'm now going to browse and read your site because you write so well. Good luck with your campaign, I will follow your progress closely.

As you say, the rest all appear to be well-established, or are clearly your opinion. Perhaps the Committee's real lawyer was on holiday, and this is a work experience kid? That’s mental.
