"Tories offer raw deal in Brent East"

Shadow Chancellor, Michael Howard MP, visited Brent East today, accusing Labour of ‘failing’ in Brent.

Labour’s candidate for Brent East, Robert Evans said,

“Tory Central Office should have told Michael Howard that people in Brent want to keep the 89 new police officers recruited this year, the new Willesden Community Hospital and new City Academy all made possible by Labour.”

“The Tories obsession with cutting public spending would mean 124 fewer police officers, 442 fewer teachers and 405 fewer nurses in Brent.”

“The Tories say that Brent is failing. People in Brent disagree.”

Education standards at GCSE and A level are above the national average for the first time in decades. Crime levels are down and unemployment has fallen by 40%.”

"People remember when Brent was failing under the Tories. Crime doubled, unemployment was sky high and mortgage rates and interest rates rocketed. It was Michael Howard who presided over this mess in Cabinet!"

“The choice on Thursday 18th September for people in Brent is investment with Labour or cuts with the Tories.”
