Punishing parents for the independent actions of their adult children would certainly be a novel development in our criminal law.

And one not without jeopardy for the parents of certain politicians.

I am staggered Steve Baker is on holiday in Greece. I am in Wycombe fighting for change and every single vote. Since an election was called my team and I have spoken to over 1,000 people and put out thousands of leaflets. mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…

My autistic child:
Can’t get an ed psych
Can’t get 1-1 occupational therapy
Can’t get an assessment for educational support needs.

Unlike Steve Baker I have cancelled my family holiday next week because I am determined to speak to as many local residents in Wycombe as possible to convince them that only Labour can deliver the change we so desperately need. #GeneralElection independent.co.uk/news/uk/politi…

Just seen this letter from Greg Clark
Compare and contrast his tone, modesty & lack of ego to letters from the likes of Gove.
Greg was a first class MP - a hard working, sensible, true One Nation Tory and an excellent Minister.
Barely any left #Conservatives

If you live in #Wycombe please vote for Emma Reynolds - if you don’t then please help her campaign
