Re: School advice needed please

I would speak to the schools your children currently attend to see if you could make use of their hardship fund in the short term.  As others have said, speak to your local authority regarding school spaces.  Wandsworth/lambeth normally have high rates of people moving out of the boroughs every year...

Re: General Election - what do we think for Battersea?

Corbyn has agreed to a new Scottish referendum with the SNP if they form a coalition.  Judging by recent polls there is a majority for that now (and who can blame them given the last 3 years?).  Scotxit would make Brexit look like a walk in the park.  Having to break a union that has existed for the...

Re: What do people think about the Electoral Commission report today about collusion (cheating) of the Leave campaign?

Without wishing to contribute to the Brexit debate (!!), I just wanted to add that I use Guy's fish Box scheme and it is fantastic.  The fish is so fresh and is pretty reasonably priced compared to the local fishmongers.  Guy seems like a nice chap and he has personally delivered fish when it has be...
