“Having come to the UK as a migrant, and lived here for close to 20 years, I have come to love it and its people. But this country has been undermined, and its people have been shattered. Their voice is not heard, unless they vote for Labour or the Tories, which is being enabled by an archaic voting system. Our rivers are being polluted by many, and uncared for by the privatized, profiteering water companies, both- Labour, and the Tories are unwilling to stand up to the interest of private companies. Our country is not safe, as even burglaries are not being investigated by the police, and people are dying waiting for our struggling health and social care system to support them when they need it the most. Our international relations have been undermined by brexit, and both- the conservatives, and the labour opposition do not want to understand that our safety and economic wellbeing cannot be achieved without close cooperation with other countries. Our rents and mortgages are unaffordable, unregulated, and unfairly set. We are experiencing the climate crisis, and which the government all but denies, and labour all but pays lip service to it. But we are better than this. We can build on the legacy of the industry, the culture and the people of Washington- and Gateshead South. We need a new renewal and a green renaissance. The Tories have made this country less safe and less prosperous. Labour run scared of providing a real alternative to the status quo. Vote #Green2024 for real hope and real change!”
