In the age of instant communications and 24-hour news, each crisis in Britain seems to be portrayed as even more urgent and dramatic than the last.

But I think that Brexit trumps every episode since second world war - in which my Polish grandfather fought in the RAF - to really define the word crisis. It’s worse than Suez, the three-day week, winter of discontent, miners’ strike, poll tax riots, mad cow disease - the lot.

The Prime Minister, who unceasingly undermined his predecessor to his ultimate personal benefit, has shut down Parliament, because he doesn’t have enough support from MPs to shove a no-deal Brexit through. He’s purged those in his own party who have stood up to his desire to see Britain crash and burn whilst tumbling out of the European Union and he seems recklessly determined to break the law.

Quite extraordinary.

His antics have gone far beyond party politics.

You and I have to abide by the rule of law and so too should he.

Watford’s Tory MP, has had enough. He’s quitting at the next election. Who can blame him?

I was just 2,000 votes adrift of Tories in Watford in last time - the Lib Dems were 21,000 votes behind and tailed off.

Whenever the General Elections comes, I need your support as the only candidate who can beat the Conservatives and send Boris Johnson the message that the people of Watford will not stand for his outrageous behaviour. Britain deserves better than Boris.
