As I have said before, I have found the past few months quite sickening and extraordinary. The sooner these problems are dealt with and the sooner these issues are cleared up the better it will be for everyone. I’m sure the 2,000 steelworkers laid off yesterday would prefer it if the political classes would concentrate a bit harder on sorting out the mess the whole country is in, not just their own issues.
However, the BBC has made a start but this does not go nearly far enough. Politicians have learned the hard way that there is no point being half-hearted when it comes to disclosing how public money is spent. We need full transparency so that licence fee payers know what their money goes on. We then need the National Audit Office to assess whether this delivers value for money.
I am STANDING FOR CHANGE. As the Member of Parliament for Erith & Thamesmead I will fight for local people and make sure that our constituency gets the strong leadership it deserves. Like most people, I am sick and tired of the way that this area has been let down by the Labour Party who have taken us for granted. If I am going to bring dynamic political leadership to our area, I need YOUR VOTE! Married with four children, I am actively involved in my church, council and charities.
