It’s a year since I was introduced to the House of Lords. Many people have asked me about it, so I thought I would share with the group. The actual introduction day is something I will always cherish. It was the closest thing I’ll ever get to a wedding day. Come to think of it, it was like an arranged marriage to the state. The grandeur and history was all a bit overwhelming especially as the child of immigrants.

The decline of town centres and high streets the length and breadth of the country is genuinely depressing. It’s hard to have pride in your community when all the nice shops have gone and what’s left are charity, gambling or pawn shops, or units just sitting empty.

People are very dismissive of local government but that’s where most people’s day to day lives collide with politics.
