READING the Conservative MP's column last week I can only say “Pull the other one, it’s got bells on”.

Michelle Donelan and her new-found enthusiasm for mental health, a policy introduced by the Liberal Democrats under the Coalition.

She, of the promise to hold weekly surgeries, who has only held six advertised surgeries since the General Election in May.

This Conservative Government, through its destruction of the tax credit system, will lead to £1,300 plus cuts in yearly income to many real hard-working families, which will in turn lead to more stress and mental illness. Crocodile tears me thinks.

No wonder Ms Donelan is insisting on appointments for her surgeries. “Visible and approachable” she claimed in her election literature, what do others in Chippenham think?
