Welcome to Caroline Spelman and Michael Gove
It is good news that Caroline’s work highlighting the intrusive efforts by Labour to tax us out of house and home through their Council tax changes has led to her promotion to party Chairman. We need a Chairman who can take the attack to the government, and can represent the party rank and file to the leadership.
I also welcome Michael Gove taking over the crucial schools brief from David Willetts. Michael opposed the Home Information Packs shrewdly. He will be surer footed over excellence in grammar schools, and will have fun jousting with Ed Balls.



















John Redwood has been the Member of Parliament for Wokingham since 1987. First attending Kent College, Canterbury, he graduated from Magdalen College...
Let’s hope that Eric Pickles continues what Caroline Spelman started and we see a major reform of council tax to make it a fairer system.
