Here’s the AELTC’s letter justifying, and my response refuting, their attempt to retrospectively change the law in their favour, by removing protection from public trusts of land like Wimbledon Park.
I’m disappointed by their tactics but remain committed to finding a solution.

I visited Auschwitz in a cross-party parliamentary delegation commemorating the 80th anniversary of its liberation. It stands as a powerful reminder of where hatred & dehumanisation leads & why we must never forget.

Enjoyed spending time at AFC Wimbledon with Mick Buckley & James Woodroof, hearing about the club’s brilliant community work & the difference it’s making locally.
I also congratulated them on an incredible season so far!

Really enjoyed marking British Beauty Week with a visit to GA Salon in Wimbledon, a wonderful team doing great work.
We talked about the real challenges businesses are facing in today’s economy & how vital this industry is to local communities & jobs.

It was wonderful catching up with Merton Friends of the Earth again.
I pledged to continue supporting my party’s efforts to pass the Climate & Nature Bill to ensure the UK meets its international commitments to cut carbon emissions.

I’m far from convinced Labour’s ‘One In, One Out’ plan will undermine the People Smugglers’ business model for small boat crossings.
And, from his answers & demeanour, I’m not persuaded the Director General (Operations) of the National Crime Agency is either!

The Government’s one in one out scheme seems more concerned with garnering headlines than stopping the boats.
The Home Office Border Security Commander does not even seem to have been informed the criteria he should apply in choosing returnees.

Pleasant as she is in person, Katie Lam(b) comes across as a wolf in sheep’s clothing in yesterday’s @thetimes.com.
Many who historically voted Conservative in Wimbledon, oppose neither EU nor ECHR, but were one nation Tories who know how much Brexit damaged UK’s trade & standing.
