Tony Blair's Labour candidate speaks for pro-war MP

April 24, 2005 10:41 AM
George W Bush & Tony Blair

Every vote for Labour is a vote for these two men and their war in Iraq.

Tony Blair's choice for Labour candidate for Brent East has shown her true colours recently. Local people were shocked that instead of campaigning for Brent East the Labour candidate was in Stratford, East London speaking for a pro-war Labour MP at a hustings meeting.

Local resident Eric Pollock said:

"Tony Blair and Labour took us to war in Iraq. The Labour candidate spoke for a pro-war MP and I am certain that if she was elected here she would vote exactly as Tony Blair told her to.

"It is clear that Lib Dem Sarah Teather stands on her anti-war record - she has voted against sending more troops to Iraq in Parliament."

The Lib Dems are the only main party who have consistently opposed the war in Iraq and are calling for a clear date for troops to come home.

    If you are a resident of the Brent Central constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
