A Word From Your MP...............
I have written before on the topic of English votes for
English laws, shortly after the referendum of last September. It is a topic that I feel passionately about as a unionist and I firmly believe in keeping the UK together. If this is to happen, we have to find an answer to the so-called West Lothian question, a question which decides whether Scottish MPs should participate in matters relating to England, Wales and Northern Ireland in the UK Parliament after devolution. After the victory of the ‘No Campaign’ in the Scottish Referendum last September the Prime Minister announced that he had appointed William Hague to draw up proposals to find an answer to this, giving all countries in the Union the opportunity for fairer governance. Following the referendum, it is absolutely right that Scotland is getting new powers. Hand in hand with that though is a need to be fair to the people of England. It would not be right to have Scottish MPs sitting at Westminster voting on budgets and laws that only apply to English voters without the consent of English Mps. There is no sense in an MP in Scotland deciding on tax rates for Wombourne residents. Last month the government announced their plans on English votes for English laws. In effect they are proposing that English MPs have a veto over legislation – including income tax – that only affects England. This is a fundamental issue of fairness and would properly balance the rights of all voters across the United Kingdom. It is fundamental that we change the system, allowing only English votes for English laws. Scotland have had the chance to have their say and now it’s time for ours. It is crucial that MPs of English constituencies have control over tax, welfare and spending. Seeking greater control for England isn’t a crime. Scotland have had their voice in their own decisions and it’s time English MPs had theirs. In other news, some of you will have seen Michael Cockerell’s documentary Inside the Commons that has been on BBC 2over the past month. It was a fascinating watch, allowing viewers to see behind the scenes of Parliament, getting a bit of a flavour of how politics works. After my wife saw me in episode one she told me off for being too loud and shouting too much in the Chamber. You do find yourself getting carried away, supporting your colleagues and the Prime Minister, and I shall do my best to try shout less in the future.

Here comes the fun!! 3 top comedians performing cutting edge stand-up at Wombournes Premier Venue comedy @ the WAGGON & HORSES Bridgnorth Road, Wombourne, Wolverhampton, WV5 0AQ Show Starts at 7.30pm on Tuesday 10th March
SOL BERNSTEIN: " One part Alf Garnett, two parts Mel Brooks, and three parts like nothing you've ever heard" The Guardian "No age barrier to comic genius" Edinburgh Evening News "Bernstein's the real deal, you'd better believe it" The Scotsman The legend that is Sol Bernstein escaped the Pogroms in Russia, the Nazis in Germany, and went on to become the World's 1st all-round entertainer. He's a song and dance man, a comedian, a magician, an actor, a Jazz musician (Sol was rated "BEST TRIANGLE" player in the USA in the 50's by performers like Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington ). Also rated the best impersonator EVER !! PATRICK MONAHAN: ‘Perfect game show host. Tiggerish energy that could power the National Grid’ London Evening Standard. Funny and adorable Irish/Iranian/Teessider comedian Patrick Monahan knows how to work a room and engage an audience with a strongly skilled blend of ad lib banter and stand up. ‘He has the dark looks and stubble of the Middle East, married to the charm of the Irish and the sense of fun of the Teessider. Omid Djalili meets Dave Allen you might say.’ Daily Mail. WINNER – ITV SHOW ME THE FUNNY BILL WOOLLAND: One of the few comedians who can successfully bridge the worlds of both Alternative and Mainstream comedy. Observational with a chatty style that allows a spontaneous and natural delivery. This is complimented by excellent original material, fabulous tales, many many gags and hilarious audience participation. Quick witted, up to date and topical his humour appeals to all audiences of any age with the ability to read a room and adapt his act to each occasion he is quite simply very versatile and very funny. “Laughs and lots of fun, his original and friendly humour has made Bill one of the most sought after comedian’s around” Buxton Opera House “Amiable raconteur, a seamlessly funny and warm friend.” Southport cf
