Against very familiar rivals, Jo Swinson will be the wild card of the election
The latest defection to their ranks will embolden optimistic Lib Dems to think that we are on the verge of a big realignmen. David Steel once told a Liberal conference to "go away and prepare for government". They went away and remained in opposition. Vince Cable once said that he could imagine himself becoming prime minister. Which is where that idea stayed: in his imagination. Nick Clegg did take them into government during the coalition years, an experience that ended with the Lib Dems losing all but eight of the 57 MPs they started with five years earlier.

Massive expansion of oil drilling at Horse Hill given the go-ahead
Surrey County Council has just granted UK Oil & Gas (UKOG) planning permission for four extra production oil wells and a water reinjection well (11th September).

Furthermore, the recent worrying spate of earthquakes around Newdigate were not deemed valid in terms of planning objections; earthquakes apparently come under the jurisdiction of the Environment Agency and the Oil and Gas Authority, bodies which did not object on these grounds. Consequently, they were afforded no weight in the planning decision.
