"So this week, MPs in Parliament, finally voted for us to be able to have a say in the future of our country. On the 12^th of December this year, only six weeks away, you will have a chance to elect your next MP here in the Newbury Constituency."

Whilst national politics dominate the news it is refreshing to participate in a recent Council committee meeting in my local town of Thatcham. Following the local elections in May 2019 this Council switched from being Conservative led to Liberal Democrats.

Our NHS is incredibly important, and at time when our health service is under massive threat from Brexit it is important that political parties act with great care.

The cross-party amendment proposed by Oliver Letwin enabled Parliament to express it's view on PM Johnson’s Deal but ensures that a proper process would be followed in Parliament that includes scrutinising the legal text of the PM’s deal. It does not in itself give approval to the deal and acts only as an indicative vote.

Lee believes Johnson’s deal confirms now more than ever, the people must have the final say.

A statement from Lee on actions in Parliament after Richard Benyon, and 20 other Conservative MPs has the whip removed by the Prime Minister on 03/09/19 ... yesterday Parliament ensured that it made its voice heard. It told the government that it would not leave the EU without a deal. 

It was great to spend some of Saturday afternoon out in Wash Common listening to local residents.

I am delighted that the local party have overwhelming backed me to be our candidate whenever the next general election is called.
