Welcome to my website, which I hope you find useful and informative.
Paul Burstow, Member of Parliament for Sutton and Cheam.
Paul Burstow MP has been running the 'Save Our St Helier' Campaign, against cuts and closures at the Hospital. Since a decision by Patricia Hewitt in August 2006 not to recommend St Helier as the site for a new hi-tech hospital, fears grew for the future of the hospital. In October 2006, the Trust which runs the Hospital announced hundreds of bed closures and nearly 500 job cuts at St Helier. In November 2006, Paul was one of the leaders of a march attended by over 2,000 people to protest agains the cuts. Over the past three years Paul has continued to campaign to secure St Helier's future and defend local NHS services. As a result the campaign has now moved on to securing the funding necessary to pay for a new in and out patient facility.

"Anyone who wants to pass laws in this country should pay this country's full taxes and not hide behind the special offshore status of non-doms. Non-doms have to tell the taxman that their first allegiance is to another country. No-one should be a British lawmaker whose first allegiance is not to Britain. "
Chris Huhne, Liberal Democrat Shadow Home Secretary

"I think people are entitled to expect a sensible, stable government at a time when the country is facing very, very acute choices. We take what the markets are worrying about immensely seriously. We will not take any risk with the creditworthiness of the economy. "
Nick Clegg, Leader of the Liberal Democrats
