While appreciating that this site is, quite rightly, focused on our/my 'home' area, I thought I would share a typical '6th Form politics' quote from my, and Liz Dance's local Green MP.

"This week's Nato summit has left Britain "more exposed" according to the Greens, as the party took aim at "bullying, bellicose" Donald Trump.

The party's foreign affairs spokeswoman Ellie Chowns MP said: "The Nato summit has left us all more exposed to the threat of nuclear war and failed to offer people across the world a strategic vision of a more peaceful world.

"Here in the UK, the Labour government has already slashed aid for the most vulnerable around the world to make way for increased arms spending and next week will try to force through cuts to disability support to pay for more.

"We do not need new US-controlled fighter jets to carry US-controlled nuclear weapons paid for by UK taxpayers that will make the world a more dangerous place.

"The UK government should be leading efforts to reduce and eliminate nuclear arsenals, not paying for the US to base more of them here. There is a choice to be made between welfare and warfare."

Straight out of the Jeremy Corbyn playbook.

I hope the local electorate will remember come the next GE.
