Lewis Hastie - Unmarried but committed

It's been in the news recently that many cohabiting couples don't realise that they have no legal rights or remedies in the event of a breakup. Earlier in the year, the Court of Appeal rejected Rebecca Steinfeld and Charles Keidan when they sought a change in the law to allow heterosexual couples to enter civil partnerships.

This is not the first time Labour have kept local residents in the dark. There was understandable outrage from local people in Eyres Monsell regarding Labour's list of potential development sites. Labour are upset because they where happy to keep local people in
