It's great to be back in the Team for Cornwall.

Our joint campaigning on issues that affect Cornwall have been really successful in getting Cornwall the recognition it deserves.

New Candidate for Truro/Falmouth constituency

All the canvassing of members is now finished and we have had the hustings. I was absolutely delighted to be selected as the Liberal Democrat candidate for the new constituency of Truro and Falmouth.

All our candidates were absolutely superb and I was up against a strong team. This is excellent for the future of the Liberal Democrats. It bodes well for our future as a party.

David Cameron is coming under pressure. Being in Rwanda in the sunshine when your own constituency is flooded never makes good press headlines. They say that events is the thing to fear in politics. Events have certainly not done Dave any favours.

Gordon Brown has pushed forward on the housing agenda. I am pleased about this but will he really go far enough. The Labour government have not overseen the building of enough houses over the ten years they have been in power.

I am currently reading their latest Homes for the Future green paper. Quite a lot of Lib Dem ideas in the bits I have read.
