London,October 2019-(Amanjit Singh Khaira)-
Faisal Rashid, MP for Warrington South, has voted for a General Election to be held on Thursday 12th December
For all most a year now Labour, SNP, L/Ds, Welsh Nationalist, Conservative, Independent and Green Members of Parliament have working together to stop the Tories from crashing the United Kingdom out of the EU with no deal or Theresa May’s very bad deal.
The new Tory Prime Minister re-negotiated the ‘Withdrawal Agreement’ with Europe and brought back a deal that is worse than the original. He put the deal before Parliament and then refused to let the House of Commons scrutinise it or pass it into law.
The Prime Minister has said that the UK would leave the EU ‘do or die’, ‘no ifs or buts’ and he ‘rather be dead in a ditch’ than stay in the EU beyond 31st October. Despite all this bluster and empty rhetoric, the Prime Minister has now taken the no-deal exit from the EU off table and extended our membership of the EU until 31st January 2020.
Parliament has now decided that the best way forward is to hold an early General Election.
Faisal Rashid MP said:
“Almost a decade of devastating Tory cuts have taken their toll here in Warrington South.
“The Tories have divided our country, decimated public services, caused rising homelessness and forced record numbers to use food banks. Many families are struggling to get by and are borrowing to cover basic expenses. A record of failure.
“We now have the opportunity to elect a Labour Government with the most ambitious and radical agenda for change our country has ever seen.
“After years of Tory austerity, it is time to rebuild our communities, invest in our public services, boost local business and bring our country back together again.
“It has been a huge privilege to represent Warrington South over the past two years, but much remains to be done. I am the person with the experience, the enthusiasm and the optimism needed to get on with the job.’’
