Braintree Conservatives spent the weekend campaigning against the construction of a ‘mega prison’ at RAF Wethersfield, with constituency MP James Cleverly spotted sharing the below leaflet yesterday:
“Only the Conservatives say no to a prison at Wethersfield“… apart from the Leader of the Conservative Party. Just six weeks ago, Kemi Badenoch called for just that. Here’s what she said about that exact site on 30 June…
“I know many people in the area did not necessarily want a prison, but the people in the surrounding area of Essex did want one and we have to do the right thing… We need more prison places. I stood on a manifesto to deliver that.”
Tanks on the lawn…
Lucy Powell on LBC, asked by Tom Swarbrick for her reaction to Labour MP Samantha Niblett’s call for a ‘summer of sex’ debate in Parliament: “I personally don’t own any sex toys, but each to their own… I’m not really sure that’s the right place for it, no.”
