St Albans Times: Holding the Thin Blue Line

Parliamentary candidate for the Harpenden seat, Nigel Gardner, said he believed common sense local conservatism was the middle way: “Neither chaotic Keir Starmer – not knowing which tax he will put up each week. Nor knee jerk populism – that offers no solutions in our wonderful corner of Hertfordshire.

“For me, the Conservative way is to allow people to get on with their lives with minimum interference. Low and simple taxes, sound money, efficient and accountable public services. And above all – courtesy and respect for others and their points of view.”
