God’s Own Country For Tories

As Cameron steps aside, where better to examine his legacy than in his own constituency in Oxfordshire where county council cuts have destroyed vital public services, putting hundreds of people at risk.

Tom Goulding’s film for Novara Docs follows Jo and Jill, two domestic violence survivors campaigning against the closure of children’s centres which helped them recover after leaving abusive relationships. The film shows the local impacts of austerity, an economic policy pursued by Cameron and Osborne central to the Conservative project. But even Tory councillors in Oxfordshire seem reluctant to implement such harsh policies.
