I voted against the construction of a third runway at Heathrow in Parliament on 25 June 2018. As Member of Parliament for Walsall South, I want to support local jobs and services and Birmingham Airport.
The Representation of the People (Equal Franchise) Act 1928 granted equal voting rights to men and women over the age of 21.
At Business Question on 21 June 2018, I raised with the Leader of the House the President of the United State’s policy of separating children from their parents. This Government appear to lack moral authority. They have lost their place in the world as a moral force. The Prime Minister could have telephoned the President and told him that this is barbaric and inhumane.
