Stratford needs a General Election now

Speaking after sitting MP Nadhim Zahawi said he would not be standing in the next General Election, she called for an immediate General Election to rid Stratford of its ‘lame duck’ representative.

“Stratford needs and deserves an MP who works hard for constituents, will speak for them at Westminster and who has strong ties to the area, as I have as a local District Councillor and school governor,” she said.

“I’m being told every day on the doorstep that people are tired of being taken for granted. They want change and they deserve it. They desperately need a local champion who will stand up for them and give them a voice.

“Local people are fed up with Tory incompetence, disillusioned by the sleaze and selfishness, and tired of the crippling effects of the cost of living crisis. They are fed up with constant price rises, resigned to not being able to get an NHS dentist’s appointment and angry about sewage in our rivers.

“Stratford voters are fed up with the Tories. We all deserve better.”

Highlighting last year’s District Council elections which gave a stunning victory to the Liberal Democrats, she said it proved that the Conservatives could be beaten in Stratford. Labour had won no seats at all, she added, and had zero chance of winning.

“Call a General Election now and give the people of Stratford-on-Avon a choice,” she demanded.
