Tory MPs block attempts to abolish hospital parking charges for carers

Three Tory MPs have talked out a bill to abolish hospital parking charges for carers in England.

Philip Davies, Christopher Chope and David Nuttall used the whole three hours allocated to Labour MP, Julie Cooper's bill, to talk nonsense so there was no time to debate and vote on it. This is referred to as filibustering and Philip Davies MP is an expert at it.

The average cost of a week's parking at a hospital in England is £39 and in London it can be as high as £130.

Philip Davies MP doesn't want UKIP to stand against him

Self-proclaimed eurosceptic Conservative MP, Philip Davies, has told the Telegraph that he hopes UKIP won't stand a candidate against him because he agrees with the party on almost everything.

The MP for Shipley is going to be very disappointed because UKIP will be contesting every seat in May. As a UKIP spokesman told Breibart "The only candidates we won't run against, Philip, are our own. As long as [Mr Davies] is supporting the Prime Minister, his words mean diddly squat".

If Davies agrees with UKIP "on nearly everything" then he must disagree with the Tories on nearly everything so why is he still supporting a party and Prime Minister who are ideologically at odds with pretty much everything he stands for?

There must be no deals for the general election. If an MP from any party believes in the same things as UKIP then they should be in UKIP, not propping up a regime that is at odds with everything we believe in. There is only one way to avoid UKIP depriving you of a seat and that's the stand for UKIP.
