My constituency is a relatively affluent seaside resort, but even in affluent-seeming resorts there are, in general, low wages in the care, retail and leisure sectors.
More than 100 councils, including Chesterfield, have not done so, because their tenants chose democratically to stay with the council rather than privatise, but the Government are now vindictively penalising them for taking the “wrong” democratic choice.
However, if tenants choose to stay with the council, as they did in Chesterfield and more than 100 other councils, their choice should be recognised and supported by a Government who claim that they support choice.

 'Why I'm giving up politics to be a proper father' says Lib Dem MP | the Daily Mail
In Matthew's case, it seems a gnawing disillusionment with Parliament and the joy of becoming a father in early middle-age has been too potent a mix for him to stay in the Commons until retirement.
The adopted son of Ken Taylor, the television scriptwriter best known for the ITV serial Jewel In The Crown, and Jill, a stage manager, Matthew's life has revolved around Westminster and its incestuous media village since becoming an MP, by tragic chance, at the age of 24.
After studying politics, philosophy and economics at Oxford, he became a researcher for the Liberal Democrats and was asked to stand for Parliament after the death of Truro MP David Penhaligon in a car crash in December 1986.
