Eddisbury MP Edward Timpson is to run his 18th London Marathon in memory of his mother and to raise funds for The Christie Charity.

The former Crewe & Nantwich MP Laura Smith has quit the Labour Party, and launched a stinging attack on what she called its culture of “bullying, belittling, fear and lack of respect”.
Ms Smith made the announcement just days after being suspended by the local Cheshire East Labour group.
Councillor and Labour Chief Whip Connor Naismith is to apply for the Labour candidacy in Crewe and Nantwich at the next general election.

A senior local Conservative has urged Dr Kieran Mullan to stand down as an MP at the next election following claims he wants to ditch Crewe and Nantwich for the safer new Eddisbury seat.

Dear Editor
I contacted you about this on 14th October 2022 and also copied in our MP asking him to contact Ofgem and provide a comment quickly to his constituents through Nantwich News.

Dear Editor
I’m writing to tell other local people about cruel new laws that our MP should be fighting in Parliament.
The anti-refugee Nationality and Borders Bill breaches the UN convention on refugees.
Dear Editor,
I am calling on the local Labour run Town and Borough Councils and the Tory MP to lobby the Government hard to improve broadband speeds in parts of Crewe.
Crewe is already the most economically and socially deprived town in the whole of Cheshire East.
Dear Editor,
I was disappointed by the irrelevant bluster that Dr Mullan threw at us as justification for his voting to allow water companies to dump raw sewage onto our rivers and on to our beaches.
Under current laws many water companies have been fined for just this practice.
Dear Editor,
Parliament has just voted to tie its own hands on future trade deals.
In a vote on the Trade Bill, MPs voted to drop an amendment that would have guaranteed them a vote on trade deals.
