Bad For Your Health

Last night, in anticipation of another Coalition like the last one, a motion to protect the NHS from being sold off to the American healthcare companies and to Donald Trump was defeated after all 19 Liberal Democrat MPs abstained. Including the three who had been elected as Labour MPs. 

The only person so elected to go so far as to vote against this motion was John Woodcock, but that would have been par for the course even if he had still theoretically been in the Labour Party. The main story is that all 19 Lib Dems abstained, and thus was the motion lost.

Another hung Parliament is coming, however, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it. A new party is now in the process of registration. After nearly 30 years of suggestion, speculation, and even a sort of preparation, I will stand for Parliament here at North West Durham. The crowdfunding page is here, and buy the book here. Please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
