Lynne Featherstone

In amongst all the other (most Lib Dem leadership!) stuff last week were two postings of mine I just want to give another burst of publicity:

• the harrowing first hand account from an Iraqi who used to work for the British armed forces and now fears for his life, and
• the experience of a constituent of mine who has never been convicted of a crime and has to get written permission from the state to talk to me, his Member of Parliament.

So if you missed them first time round, or didn't have time to read them, I hope you'll take a look now. If you were to ask me why I'm in politics - well it's because when I read about these sorts of cases I am angry, and want to get stuck in to change things.
