A great day in Caterham – Putting pressure on Sam Gyimah MP

On Saturday 2nd March we were out in Caterham outside the Church Walk Shopping Centre, leafleting shoppers and the area. We also made sure we reminded Sam Gyimah that the people of Caterham won’t forget him betraying his manifesto commitments. 

Sam was a former Conservative A List candidate was effectively imposed on the previously safe seat of East Surrey. Now he is one of too many MPs who feel their views, which have included calling for a second referendum, matter more than those they serve, the British public.

Our timing couldn’t have been better with members of East Surrey Conservatives launching a no confidence bid against him:

Caterham Street Stall, 2nd March – Putting pressure on Sam Gyimah MP

Sam Gyimah MP as a former Conservative A List candidate was effectively imposed on the previously safe seat of East Surrey. Now he is one of too many MPs who feel their views, which have included calling for a second referendum, matter more than those they serve, the British public.

Being near neighbours we would like to remind Sam that even if he wants to ignore the people of Britain, his constituents in the borough of Tandridge voted to leave the EU.

We’re holding a street leafleting session outside the Church Walk Shopping Centre – Station Ave, Caterham CR3 6RT from 11am – 1pm on Saturday 2nd March.  Come and join us remind Sam that the people of Caterham won’t forget him betraying his manifesto commitments.

Leavers of Croydon Drinks – Pictures and Interviews

We has a great night at the Leavers of Croydon drinks in the Skylark on Tuesday 22nd January.  Another good turnout with some old and new friends attending.

On the night we took some photos and a video which are below.  We also asked a few guests

“What are you most looking forward to when we leave the EU?”

‘If they are good I’ll vote them back in if they are bad I’ll chuck them out. You can’t get rid of Juncker and Tusk because you never voted for them in the first place’ – John

‘This country might start believing in itself and the politicians can do the same’ – Mellissa

‘Lower costs for our food…  We can hold our own politicians to account’ – Graeme

‘The ability to strike deals with other countries.. We used to, we can do it again’ – David

Michael Swadling and Philip Sheppard
