Fortismere School invited the three main candidates in the coming election – myself as LibDem MP, Karen Jennings as the Labour candidate and Richard Merrin for the Tories – to be asked questions by the students. About 150 young people came to the ‘question time’ and I have to say they put some terrific questions.

It totally confirmed my view that our children and young people are clever, engaged, interested and tough questioners! A far cry from the media portrayal of them as hooligans and criminals.

We ranged across banking and the economy, the Middle-East, what we would do for young people in Haringey, tuition fees, MPs’ expenses and much more. They were sharp as needles and very, very direct!

Lots of support for the LibDems here.

Well done Fortismere.
