Politics is about decisions which affect the way we live, how our money gets spent and why we should care who makes those decisions.

At Glastonbry Tor

Kay with her Grandson, Tom“I am so lucky to have a close family where we respect each other and work together. Going back to Glastonbury Tor with a new generation was very emotional – all those wonderful memories of playing together. The Somerset Levels and hills still are our playground.”

Politics and politicians

Kay at conferencePolitics shouldn’t be about politicians. Politicians are the means to bring about change, a way to leave people and the world better off, rather than impoverishing us all. Life goes on, but what sort of life do we want for our children?

On Fair Trade

Kay in Uganda Youth Centre"Not just dusty academic research:

  • World trade and large-scale agribusiness impacts on everyone’s food supplies and on the environment on which our children's future depends.
  • It is hugely important not just to everyone in the South West region, which has superb record on environmentally friendly farming, but to all of us in Britain."
