I HAVE been looking at Mike Foster's record since his election as an MP.

He didn't object when our Lib-Lab county council gave itself the biggest salary rise ever known, then claimed it had overspent by £9m and the provision for old people would have to suffer.

Neither did he concern himself when they announced that it would limit the amount old people could retain from the enforced sale of their homes if they entered a council nursing home to just £3,000 total.

He also said it was all right when Kidderminster hospital was closed, but changed his mind very late under pressure when he feared losing votes.
