The government has decided to create a specific offence for forced marriages that will cover England and Wales and make it a criminal offense to force marriage upon any person. This decision came from a twelve week consultation which listened to the views of victims, charities and organisations and in doing so realised that a combination of both education and prevention will engage communities and tackle this problem.

As summer finally arrives the whole of Britain prepares to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee commemorating her 60 years on the throne. When she first became Queen in February 1952 Britain still ruled a vast Empire, Winston Churchill was Prime Minister and The Loveliest Night of the Year by Mario Lanza was topping the charts.

In this time of austerity the Jubilee is a brilliant opportunity to celebrate Britain and show the world our culture and history.

The London Mayoral contest is surely going to be one of the closest races London has seen for many years. With only two months to make a difference and make the case for the re-election of Boris Johnson, now is the time to stand up and be counted.

In less than six month's time the people of London go to the polls to vote for their Mayor again.

Together we celebrated with David Cameron after routing Labour, Ken Livingstone and his merry men from London.
