Team canvassing in Haverstock last night seemed like déja vu, although it was only a couple of weeks before when I was pounding the streets of West Hampstead.

Preservation of the Human Rights Act appears to be another red line the Tories are fearing to cross while our DPM has set out a clear message of reform in advance of a major speech today. As I mentioned in an article submitted to Liberator magazine yesterday the Tories are more concerned about getting power than preserving their principles or key policies so they become chameleon-like in partnership arrangements.
