Dear Editor,
A common refrain seems to be that nobody trusts politicians, but surely not everyone is tarred by the same brush.
We all remember Boris Johnson and Partygate, partying even on the eve of the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral.

Eddisbury MP Edward Timpson has said he backs Boris Johnson’s decision to resign and will support his successor.
Mr Timpson’s office released a statement after Mr Johnson told the country he is resigning but will stay on until the new leader is in place.
Crewe and Nantwich MP Dr Kieran Mullan has confirmed he “could not support the Prime Minister” in last night’s confidence vote.

Tory Cheshire East MP Edward Timpson said Government leaders should lead by example and called it “shameful” those setting the rules did not follow them during lockdown.
Eddisbury MP Mr Timpson issued a statement after Prime Minister Boris Johnson apologised for breaking the rules when he was fined £50 following the police investigation into Partygate.
Crewe and Nantwich Conservative MP Kieran Mullan is being urged to air his views on the Downing Street lockdown parties as pressure grows on Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
A number of Tory MPs have now publicly declared they have written to the chairman of the 1922 Committee to say they have no confidence in the PM.
The Crewe & Nantwich MP says Boris Johnson has pledged to support a northern recovery plan, during a meeting in which he is reported as saying “devolution was a disaster” in Scotland.
The Prime Minister met with Dr Kieran Mullan and other Tory MPs from northern constituencies on a Zoom call yesterday to discuss a “levelling up” agenda.
Crewe & Nantwich MP Kieran Mullan says he has lobbied Prime Minister Boris Johnson to put the case for a new Leighton Hospital.
Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust recently unveiled its plans to replace 85% of the current site in Crewe.
Dear Editor,
It is time to end the lockdowns.
Anyone who wishes to isolate, whether because they are vulnerable or for other reasons, should be supported in doing so safely.

Both Cheshire’s councils have been named as “high alert” areas on the government’s new coronavirus ranking.
The news was confirmed by Prime Minister Boris Johnson in a statement to the House of Commons this afternoon.
Dear Editor,
Boris is being criticised for threatening to ditch part of the Withdrawal Treaty with the EU.
My only criticism is that he is not planning to bin the entire Withdrawal Treaty and not going for ‘NoDeal’
with the EU.
Cheshire East Council is unlikely to employ Boris Johnson’s Covid-secure “marshals” unless they are fully funded by Whitehall, says the authority.
The Prime Minister said last week that the so-called marshals would be used in towns and cities across the UK to help enforce the new ‘rule of six’ social distancing restrictions.
