Balanced Migration

Frank Field, Roger Godsiff, Ian Davidson, Ann Cryer, Peter Kilfoyle, Colin Burgon, Lord (Tony) Jordan, and indeed Betty Boothroyd, Cross Bencher though by convention she must now be.

Lord Ahmed, expelled from Labour for something that was wrong, but which would not have been punished anything like so harshly if anyone else had done it; it wouldn't happen under Ed Miliband.

The London-based Kurdish journalist Hazhir Teimourian.

Lord Skidelsky, both a founding member and a finishing member of the SDP, who later resigned from the Conservative front bench in order to oppose the war against Serbia, and who now writes New Statesman articles with David Blanchflower while we await his book with the glorious title, Keynes: The Return of the Master.

Even Peter Bottomley is a Tory Reform Group grandee.

The main glaring absence is of Lib Dems. Don't they believe in the welfare and the public services that our people have rightly come to expect, or in using overseas aid to develop such provisions in other countries?
