Ourpoisonousleaderis an insult to the nation
BORIS Johnson is living on borrowed time. He has poisoned the Tory Party from top to bottom.
The report by admired civil servant Sue Gray cannot ignore the facts we already know – No10 was hosting parties while the rest of us were obeying the rules.
The PM attended and then lied about it. He showed no respect for the Queen while she was in mourning for her husband.
His behaviour has been an insult not just to Her Majesty but to the whole nation.
His lack of honesty and integrity has poisoned the once great party he leads.
His bully boys at Westminster, the Whips, told me I wouldn’t get a promised new school in Bury South if I voted the wrong way.
The police are now being asked to investigate allegations that other Tory MPs were blackmailed into putting Boris Johnson’s interests ahead of their own constituents.
I have too much respect for the people who voted me into Parliament to stay silent in the face of such intimidation.
People voted Conservative for many different reasons in 2019.
In Bury South, they wanted to see wealth and opportunity levelled up.
They wanted Brexit to work for them and their families.
They wanted an end to the anti
Semitism that was disfiguring politics. The Tories have let them down.
Only Labour, with Keir Starmer, has a serious plan for levelling up.
The Labour Party I joined last week is serious about making Brexit work. There’s no going back into the EU.
And Keir Starmer has shown great courage and determination in rooting out anti-Semitism.
I am attending a Holocaust memorial event in Ukraine this week as a proud member of a party that Jewish people can once again put their trust in.
DISGRACEFUL
Keir Starmer has promised a contract with the people of Britain to deliver security, prosperity and respect. Never has this country needed this more.
He would be a prime minister that the whole country can be proud of, not embarrassed by.
But it’s not just about Boris Johnson’s disgraceful leadership. The Tory Party has changed.
Moderate, sensible centrists like me no longer have a place in it. It can’t be trusted to uphold the values of integrity and decency that we expect from the government of this country.
Britain deserves better. It is time for Boris Johnson to go.
And as soon as they get the chance, I have no doubt the people of Britain will be ready to elect a government that will act in the national interest.
A Labour government with
Keir Starmer.
