Political View: Why it is time for a General Election!
It’s been an interesting week in politics. Having promised certainty and stability, Labour have proved that they are just as bad as the Conservatives when in office, writes Reform-UK’s Peterborough spokesman Peter Reeve MBE.
We now find that despite their promises; we have yet another Prime Minister resign.
The only delay was that even the Labour Party recognised that they did not have anyone in the House of Commons good enough to replace Kier Starmer.
What is clear is that just like the Conservatives, Labour have no idea what they stand for, perhaps explaining why antisemitism, two-tier decision making that undermines equality and dangerous ‘identity politics’ continue to define their party.
Let’s be clear, Andy Burnham is a worse version of Kier Starmer – weak on illegal immigration, weak on criminals and weak on policy. The only thing he seems strong on is wanting to rejoin the European Union (EU). We think things are bad now. I can’t even begin to describe the problems that Andy Burnham will cause our Country when he gets time to stop his Labour Party in-fighting.
With no mandate to be Prime Minister, we in Reform-UK demand a General Election – Let the people decide who should be leading our country.
Here in Peterborough, The Labour Party continue to spend and waste huge amounts of taxpayers money, just like the Conservatives did before them. Their latest vanity project is the Cygnet Bridge, with a current estimated cost to taxpayers of £8.3Million.
Your Reform-UK Councillors, with members of the community, continue to investigate and land deals that have taken place. We will not stop until we get to the bottom of what has been going on.
Perhaps Reform-UK taking a lead in these investigations explains attempts to stop Reform-UK Councillors’ motions being put forward in coming council meetings?
There are also attempts to block Reform-UK’s motion to have the National Anthem played at Council meetings; and Cllr O’Neil’s Motion highlighting his fight against antisocial behaviour, drug dealing and drug taking on the footpath in Fletton and Woodston that is alongside Nene Railway line and river Nene, inside Fletton and Stanground Ward and also highlighting overhanging foliage making it unsafe for residents to use has been redacted.
We are very proud to have adopted Ryan Gallagher as our candidate in the Fletton and Woodston by-election called for next month. Ryan is focused on tackling persistent anti-social behaviour and stopping dangerous speeding.
This is the third time the good people of Fletton and Woodston have gone to the Polls since February, caused by the resignation of the former Labour Councillor Daisy Blakemore-Creedon who said that the reason she resigned was Labour antisemitism not being investigated. She also recently revealed that she has submitted evidence to the independent Rape Gang inquiry because of concern about activities in the area. The report argues that “even elected councillors who attempted to raise the alarm faced institutional resistance instead of support”.
