It has been revealed that drug pushers and users in Bradford are using online forums to buy, sell, solicit and review drugs such as cocaine, ecstasy and cannabis. Philip Davies called on the police to make service providers aware of this and take down the forums.
Conservative Party chief Baroness Warsi looks to appeal some of the Boundary Commission's proposals, whose cuts from 650 MPs to 600 will tear apart the Shipley constituency. Philip Davies supports Baroness Warsi's efforts to have Shipley remain a parliamentary constituency.

Philip Davies said there was no reason Bradford Council should close five libraries, given libraries were kept open with similar grants in previous years. He fears the Council is making cuts to make political points about the Government, which is not the duty of a council.
Amnesty International's secretary-general Irene Khan left the organisation in 2009 with a payout of £533,103, over four times her salary. Philip Davies said this payout was ludicrous and those that donated to the organisation believing they were alleviating poverty not subsidising a payout.
A new policy across Bradford to withhold some crime details has been criticised as unjustifiable and secretive. The policy was implemented in order to calm people's fears about the extent of crimes, but many believe this may make people feel safer when in reality they are less safe.
