Nickie Aiken MP's statement regarding the Prime Minister

Nickie Aiken MP

Nickie Aiken, Member of Parliament for the Cities of London & Westminster, released the following statement regarding the Prime Minister.

I firmly believe that the contract between public elected servants, whether a Councillor or Member of Parliament, and those they represent must be based upon mutual trust and respect. I have been unhappy with the Prime Minister’s conduct for some time and resigned from the Government in February as Vice-Chair of the Conservative Party for these reasons. I subsequently called for a vote of confidence in the Prime Minister. 

Following the investigations into conduct in Downing Street during the lockdowns, it is clear that trust in both the Government, the Conservative Party and politics more widely has been seriously damaged. And, further to the mishandling of serious allegations made against the former Deputy Chief Whip, I strongly believe now is the time for a new Leader of the Conservative Party and that the Prime Minister should step down. I have made my views known to Sir Graham Brady, the Chairman of the 1922 Committee.

I will continue to serve the people of the Cities of London & Westminster to the best of my ability.

At last! Some progress on pedicab regulation

Thousands of local people, along with business owners and tourists, have been calling for the licensing of pedicabs to tackle the rogue operators whose loud noises cause irritation and whose rip-off fares penalise Londoners and visitors alike.
