Hi xxxxx,
I have been considering writing to you over the last few days, but wanted to wait until I had heard from the current Prime Minister at questions this lunchtime.
Now he has confirmed what I think we all knew that he did attend the much discussed party in Downing Street on the 20th May I wanted to register my utter disgust at his behaviour, his empty apology and the damage his behaviour has done in undermining the trust between constituent and government.
I am not quite sure how he thinks he can continue in office, or lead with any moral authority and I worry that should we need to implement any further measures to protect public health this will prove simply impossible.
I am fortunate that we have suffered no personal loss due to the pandemic, and I can only begin to imagine how those who lost loved ones in the most difficult of circumstances must feel after hearing the Prime Minsters admission of guilt at the despatch box.
Whilst I didn’t vote for you I have always been struck by your commitment to our constituency and your personal integrity. I am aware that you followed the Covid guidelines with the same vigour (and in the same spirit) as the rest of your constituents and as such I would like to ask what your position is with regard to the current situation, and what you will be doing to reflect the feelings of people like myself.
Kind Regards,
Anthony Short
