Labour’s desperation in the face of a possible meltdown in both county and European elections has led them to using smear tactics.

In St Albans they have issued a libellous leaflet about me which is in the hands of my solicitors: so far we have had a private apology. (Labour have no county council seats here so it is not clear why they bother).

It is small wonder that people are disillusioned with politics and especially with the Labour Party.
