Slaughter is an outspoken critic of the Conservative-dominated Hammersmith and Fulham Council, often opposing its policies. He was also a vocal critic of the West London Free School co-founded in 2011 by journalist Toby Young, arguing that the school "had no proven business case", that "local people are against the plans", and stating that the school was "ousting 22 charities and a school for severely disabled children in its rush to open".

Famous quotes containing the words constituency and/or issues:
“Social Security is a government program with a constituency made up of the old, the near old and those who hope or fear to grow old. After 215 years of trying, we have finally discovered a special interest that includes 100 percent of the population. Now we can vote ourselves rich.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
“The hard truth is that what may be acceptable in elite culture may not be acceptable in mass culture, that tastes which pose only innocent ethical issues as the property of a minority become corrupting when they become more established. Taste is context, and the context has changed.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
