The Three Horseshoes Public House at Ironsbottom, Sidlow, has recently been listed as an ‘Asset of Community Value’ by Reigate and Banstead Borough Council. This follows a campaign supported by Crispin Blunt MP, the Horseshoes Action Group, and Salfords and Sidlow Parish Council, objecting to the closure of the pub and proposals to develop the site.

Yesterday, I held a meeting with the recently appointed Chairman of the Oil and Gas Authority, Tim Eggar, specifically to discuss OGA’s regulatory remit regarding the Horse Hill Oil exploration site, in the light if the impending decision by Surrey County Council whether or not to grant planning permission to enable UK Oil and Gas (UKOG) to produce oil from the well over the next twenty-five years.

I had a productive meeting with a Reigate Heath resident and UK Power Networks this morning to address the wholly inappropriate amount of power cuts for several of my constituents. 

Until now I have remained undeclared concerning my backing for the new leader of the Conservative Party, however, I believe that Boris Johnson’s visit to talk to party members in Surrey today is a suitable occasion to make my assessment public.

Following the below statement from Sally Lane and John Letts today, Crispin Blunt MP expressed the following:

It is now almost certain that our next Prime Minister will be a self-confessed criminal; liable to up 14 years in prison in the case of possession of Class A drugs or up to 5 years for Class B drugs such as cannabis.

Crispin Blunt attacks Gove over ‘hand-wringing statement of regret’ on cocaine use and calls on all leadership candidates to engage in serious debate on future drugs policy.

Crispin, MP for Reigate and co-chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group For Drug Policy Reform said:

It is with great disappointment that I have today learned that ‘Canon UK and Ireland’ will be relocating its Head Office from Reigate to Uxbridge, where it will co-locate with Canon’s existing Europe, Middle East and Asia (EMEA) HQ.

If the next Conservative PM has not got Brexit done by the next election the electoral outlook is beyond bleak unless the dynamic can be changed.

Sunday evening we will get a taste of what it looks like when Conservatives strongly committed to Remain and Leave desert left and right.

Both the Conservatives and the Brexit Party could benefit from an electoral pact

Addressing the 1922 committee in the wake of the 2017 General Election fiasco, Theresa May declared, "I got us into this mess, I will get us out."
