This is what you have been writing to us about this week.

As a constituent who has personally asked for help from Steve Baker, I can testify that he is a most conscientious and approachable government representative.

I would therefore, like to respond to the letter published in last week’s edition accusing the MP of a penchant for risk taking, which impacted on his constituents.

Mr Baker has always been forthright on his views on Brexit. The people of Wycombe knew exactly what they were getting when they gave him a greatly increased majority at the last election.

As for Covid, our MP has consistently been outspoken in his view that any restriction on our rights and freedoms should be debated in the House of Commons.

We are supposed to be a democratic society, yet our liberty has been snatched away without consultation or scrutiny.

An emergency debate on restrictions should not have delayed action, or likely to have changed the outcome, but it would have upheld the principles of democracy.

The Coronavirus Recovery Group, of which Mr Baker is chairman, is calling for the restrictions to be lifted earlier than the government has planned.

The full consequence of the lockdowns will not be known for some time, but it will be brutal and costly.

Yet the impact of the virus has had very little deliberation in parliament. The government should, therefore, be challenged on any decisions, especially with a lack of an effective Labour opposition.

The only risk posed by his affiliation to this group, is possibly to Mr Baker’s future political career.

In response to Mr Duckett’s accusations of playing Russian roulette with his constituents’ lives, I would suggest that our libertarian and outspoken MP is not a serial risk taker as suggested, but just brave.
