Dear Theresa. I think this rubbish belongs to you. Yes, I am blaming you for the two bin bags of rubbish I collected in about 10 minutes this afternoon from the banks of the Lugg, an SSSI on the outskirts of Hereford. I was watched by a crowd of young people enjoying a barbecue, swimming, […]

Dr Ellie Chowns, our candidate for North Herefordshire writes… I campaigned for Remain on the streets of Ledbury and Hereford last year, and I believe that Brexit is a serious mistake. It will cause many years of disruption to our economy, will limit opportunities for our children and young people, and is highly likely to […]

Neither Labour nor the LibDems seem to be showing much interest in an electoral pact with each other and with the Greens – though, the last I heard, Caroline Lucas was saying that the door might still be open. It seems to me that Labour are very suspicious of Proportional Representation (PR) – which has […]

I sympathise with the desire of Polly Ernest (‘Get together’, HT letters, 5 May) and many others to see progressive parties unite around common ground and fight to oppose counterproductive austerity, growing inequality, environmental threats and extreme Brexit. Indeed, the Green Party has been leading the push for electoral alliances against a deeply unfair voting […]
Climate change Comment GE2017 Rob Palgrave

If there is one issue that should be at the heart of this election, it is climate change. When we next choose a government (in 2022), it’s likely that global temperature will have risen 1.5C. That’s the level that nations (including the UK) pledged at Paris in 2015 should not be breached to avoid dangerous […]

You might have thought that there was no one left on a trolley in a hospital corridor. That our social care system wasn’t on its knees. That climate change wasn’t a crisis that threatens our very future or that there was no air pollution epidemic linked to the deaths of tens of thousands. This budget […]

Another week, another argument between our local politicians about a western, eastern or both route for a bypass which will miraculously solve all our traffic woes. The western route is supported by the Conservative county council and what’s left of the Lib Dems. It relies on massive housing development which will fill the roads up […]
