Facts on immigration
Last Wednesday I went to a very useful presentation by the Samphire Project, a charity based in Dover. Samphire do no promote a policy agenda but communicate accurate information about immigration, detention, asylum and refugees in the UK. They covered some popular beliefs about migration and compared these to reality. It was hughly educational. I am far from a believer in tabloid panic about migration but I did not know that the number of asylum applications in the UK was only 31,000 last year.

Time is running out to have your say on the future of New Surgery The New Surgery in Tring has been led by a single GP, Dr. Hall-Jones, for 29 years. As Dr. Hall-Jones retired in January, Herts Urgent Care has taken on GP services at the practice on a caretaker basis. There is currently a contract in place for up to 8 months, from 1 February 2016, for this arrangement to continue, but it is not possible for this to be a permanent solution.

EU Referendum: Reflections from the campaign trail
In the past couple of months, I have given some 30 talks and debates at schools, universities and community groups in Greater London and the South East making the case for remaining in the EU. With little over a month remaining before the referendum, an event which could profoundly change our country for the worse, now might be a good time to brainstorm with fellow campaigners on how we might best proceed.
