    Priti Patel joins the cabinet ministers singling out north london liberals for attack. But what about the poor old south London liberals, what have they done to deserve the cold shoulder.

        I am very happy being ignored. Also there's genuine representation for Sth London Liberals. Tom Brake, Ed Davey, Vince Cable

        And the Tory cabinet is from the Shires. It's where their MP's are from.

        I think the problem is the prime minister’s recent move from Islington to Camberwell.

        Priti Patel is a north Londoner - she was educated at Watford Grammar, my alma mater

        in this case i think it is more about corbyn and abbott (islington and hackney) but i still feel bad for the south londoners - they need to up their game obviously
