Constituents who are worried about Mass Housing Building mass House Building. Are you going to promote that or side with your constituents . The issue with with your constituents . The issue with the with your constituents . Iie issue with the constituents with your constituents . Iie issue with the constituents is that we have 70 of available land in the south down national park. 5 of the land available is the national landscape, that means that 100 of allocation is being squeezed into 25 of available land. That means there are certain communities that are having lots of homes built and they are not seeing the infrastructure.

They, dentists, doctors, facilities, and they come with the raids and they come with the raids and infrastructure. And they come with the raids and infrastructure. What about th
And now youve decided to walk away. Why . Because i want, ironically, to spend more time really focusing on climate and the environment. And right now, as the sole mp for my party, i have to be the expert on absolutely everything. I am the front bench spokesperson on everything. And that means that when you add that to two days a week constituency work easily, looking at everything from peoples visas to their housing problems, important though those are, they are massively time consuming at a time when im now at The Point In My Life when i really want to focus on climate and nature. Two huge areas, i know, but at the minute im getting pulled in 100 Different Directions, so ive decided not to stand at the next election.

That everybody wants. Many of the ideas have a popular ring on the doorstep. Will voters trust those bearing the message . David grossman has been gauging reaction. I normally vote for labour. Im a member of the labour party. But im loathe to say what i really think at the minute. Go on, tell me. No. And where does this manifesto fit into the political firmament . 0ur panel is raring to go, with our left right blackboard. Good evening. It was not so long ago we moaned about all Political Parties looking and sounding the same. Failure to offer proper choice to the voter, failure to bring anything new to the table.
