Constituency Issues
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:
“My constituency is the desperate, the damned, the disinherited, the disrespected and the despised.”
—Jesse Jackson (b. 1941)
“How to attain sufficient clarity of thought to meet the terrifying issues now facing us, before it is too late, is ... important. Of one thing I feel reasonably sure: we can’t stop to discuss whether the table has or hasn’t legs when the house is burning down over our heads. Nor do the classics per se seem to furnish the kind of education which fits people to cope with a fast-changing civilization.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
