Great news. Residents in Clifton and Lark Hill have been standing shoulder-to-shoulder with those in Barton in Fabis for more than a decade opposing this quarry and I’ve been proud to support them. https://t.co/xpOtPlhDXt

The people of Rainham deserve some respite, not more of the same. As the Member of Parliament I say categorically that this planning application should be refused by Havering Council.

Fight, Fight, Fight…”

Every day we are reminded of injustice in the UK – the fight of postmasters against the Post Office, or haemophiliacs against the medical indifference are just the tip of an iceberg of a justice system loaded against the people. It’s only when it impacts directly do you realise just how lopsided UK planning has become. There is no social justice – just the jackboot of corporate greed being crushed into the face of humanity… forever.
