"Government capping means less police on the beat" Mike Simpson
Wed 20th May 2009
Mike Simpson, The Liberal Democrats new Parliamentary candidate for South West Surrey believes that the government's decision to cap the Surrey Police Authority (SPA) will benefit no-one. If it goes ahead, the decision, which is subject to the approval of Parliament and which the Authority is proposing to challenge by means of a judicial review, will mean that the Authority will have to return £1.6m to council taxpayers but will incur further costs of £1.2m in so doing.

Mike Simpson comments on MP's expenses
Wed 13th May 2009
I aspire to be the M.P. for South West Surrey, but the torrent of shocking news about M.P.'s expenses makes me wonder how few people will even turn out to vote at the next General Election. The number of people using the phrase, 'You're all as bad as each other' is likely to rocket and who can blame people for thinking that?

"I hate to say it, but only one party leader seems to have grasped that, if you construct a system where unskilled people are worse off by taking a job than by staying on welfare, they remain trapped in poverty - and that is Nick Clegg. "
Lord Norman Tebbit
Daily Telegraph online - 13 Jan
"It's unbelievable that the Tories are still planning to cut taxes for a handful of millionaires when the majority of people across the country are feeling the squeeze. We need fair tax cuts that put money back in the pockets of ordinary people. The Tory sums simply do not stack up. It is irresponsible and highly misleading for George Osborne to continue to pretend that they do. "
