'RWANDA DAVE' TO SOLVE OXFORDSHIRE FLOODING PROBLEMS FROM LONDON

Time to retire to Bedlam. Dave has called a meeting to discuss the flooding in Oxfordshire last July. The meeting will be held in Westminster Hall in, er, London on Wednesday.

This is the first time Dave appears to have recognised that the flooding happened. He famously was in another continent when his constituency was under several feet of water but, as the leader of the new Tories, Dave now cares.

I am sure that many of my neighbours will make the special trip to London to listen to this important debate. It is a shame no suitable venue could be found in his constituency...

Rwanda Dave might care to reflect that Evan Harris MP held a public meeting in Abingdon last year to hear the concerns of his residents who had been severely hit by the flooding. He also managed to remain in the country while the crisis was ongoing.

Still, it's clear that Dave cares and there should be no suggestion that this is being done for the benefit of national media.

There may be a moral here: elect a Tory MP in Oxfordshire and expect him (it is always a he) to spend all his time in London. Tea and buns at City Hall, anyone?
