Anyway, sure you can ask those canvassing what their position is. Personally I haven't been canvassed by anyone other than Labour - which makes you wonder whether any of the other candidates are actually wanting to stand and what they'd do if they got elected.

It?s was good to be reminded that in general, Conservative policies like shipping asylum seekers to Rwanda aren?t supported in Dulwich. Interestingly no comment from local Conservative candidates though- like they?re trying to distance themselves from the party they?ve chosen to stand for and are thus endorsing.

Some London Tory groups have gone further...https://www.standard.co.uk/news/politics/london-local-elections-2022-conservative-candidates-partygate-b995491.html

Partygate is a deeply local issue - local people were adhering to the rules in sometimes desperately harrowing circumstances, while Johnson was breaking them and then lying about it. There are some things so grievous in public life that they can't simply be sidelined.


I might have missed something, but I'm still waiting for the local council election Conservative candidates views on this local issue.

I really don?t agree DulvilleRes. I want my local councillors to focus on local issues/ in fact I?d prefer the council generally to focus much more on the local issues within their remit and spend less time passing motions about subjects that they have no responsibility for or control over. In fact if I had my way all the councillors would be independent, and being a councillor wouldn?t be seen as a route into central government politics.


Completely agree that Boris should go, but that?s something I?ll use my general election vote for when the time comes. If we all keep using our votes in local elections to register views on unspecified aspects of central government, then local government becomes less and less accountable (which seems to me to be what has happened). If people want my view on central government policy they can conduct an opinion poll.


We need more democracy/ accountability at a local level.

Transphobia isn't going to be a big election winner in this area.

    • People are switching to electric cars irrespective of fuel prices.  100s of millions that could be spent on hospitals and schools for example have been lost due to fuel duty freezes and a supposedly temporary reduction.  Fuel is relatively cheap at the moment.  With a stonking majority when is it time to rightly take on motorists? Farming, I simply referred to Paul Johnson of the IFS who knows more about the economy that you, I and Truss will ever know. Food?  Au contraire.  It's too cheap, too poor quality and our farmers are squeezed by the supermarkets and unnatural desire to keep it cheap.  A lot less takeaways and more home cooking with decent often home produced, food should benefit most in our society. Be honest you do t like Labour. 
    • In fact there was a promotional leaflet came through the letter box today, for sending by RM's parcel post by buying online.  There are also options mentioned for having the labels printed  at a Collect+ store or at a Parcel Locker.  More info at https://www.royalmail.com/.
    • Is it? Let's see  Farming is a tough gig with increasingly lower returns, if farms have to sell off land to pay inheritance tax it will reduce their ability to survive. Which in real terms could mean more farm land lost and more reliance on imported food which sees money flowing out, not in to the country.  But I guess as long as you get cheap food that doesn't concern you 😉  Lol "what about the cars"  again Mal... like a broken record....  Governments know that squeezing car drivers for more fuel duty will drive down income from taxes as people switch to electric, which would leave them with a black hole in income. Guess the fuel duty is a fine balancing act tiĺl enough electric cars have been sold to raise tax revenue from their use. 
    • Hello - if anyone is in need of sofa/rug/carpet cleaning, we have recently had a very good experience with husband and wife team Kate and Vlad. They're a very reasonable cost and the result was great (don't look too closely at the colour of the water that comes out!) Kate's number is 07731 140246
