Colin Ross, the Liberal Democrat candidate in Wolverhampton South West at the recent General Election has written to the local newspapers expressing his dismay at Labour MP Rob Marris support for ID Cards.
In a little over two weeks the people of Cheadle will be deciding on who to represent them in Westminster. Let's help keep this seat in the Liberal fold and help keep the Tories out. They will be pulling out all the stops, so we need to put in everything we have, and some, to ensure the work Patsy started can be followed up by Mark Hunter, our candidate. For information on how you can help please call Simon Davey, Cheadle's Caseworker and Researcher on 0776 334 1118 or see below. Let's really earn our summer breaks and ensure that the four years of progress in Cheadle are not rolled back in an instance by giving the seat back to the Conservatives.

Ten potential pitfalls in the government's plans for national identity cards were highlighted today in a damning report just 24 hours ahead of a crucial Commons vote on the issue. Today's detailed investigation into the proposed scheme, by a panel of 14 professors at the London School of Economics, concludes that the current scheme is "neither safe nor appropriate", and will cost double, triple or even quadruple the government's estimates.
Plans for ID cards are in turmoil as the government gears up for Tuesday's vote on the issue in the Commons.
