James Wharton MP

This lunchtime I hosted a discussion meeting with Alistair Burt MP, Assistant Chief Whip and Deputy Chairman of the Conservative Party.  It was attended by a group of local business people from Stockton South and discussion, unsurprisingly, focussed on the economy.  It was an extremely productive and informative meeting and, whilst it is sadly clear the country faces difficult times, it was also brought home just how reckless Labour have been in landing us with such a huge national debt.  I feel history is unlikely to judge Gordon Brown kindly for his actions as Chancellor and Prime Minister.
