John Cruddas MP is a darling of what remains of the old Labour left.
With his Dagenham constituency under threat from the BNP, he loves to stress traditional Labour values, and talk of the need to deliver for the working class. The only person Cruddas has delivered for so far though, is himself. Being based permanently in Dagenham isn’t good enough for him, so he claims assistance on a second ‘London’ home – in swanky Notting Hill. This also means his spoilt children can get into a nice Catholic school, and don’t have to go one in nasty old Dagenham.
At Sunday’s trades union rally at the Labour party conference in Bournemouth, Cruddas said “The biggest group of non-voting people is working class ex-Labour voters. There’s a consistent message developing around migrant workers, privatisation, housing and war. We need to find ways to mobilise around it over the next few years”.
Whilst David Cameron tries to lead the country in a new direction from his posh Notting Hill address, the Labour “left” does the same, from virtually the same street. They are no different from each other, and offer us nothing but the same lies and “do as I say not do as I do” approach.
Lets demonstrate against them both on November 3rd!
