After an action-packed week on the doorstep in Isleworth, hearing about the issues residents want dealt with, I was proud to join my fellow Hounslow Labour candidates and councillors in Parliament at an event hosted by Council Leader Steve Curran and Hounslow’s two MPs, Ruth Cadbury and Seema Malhotra. I look forward to working with them to keep the red flag flying over Hounslow. The Tory government has not made life easy for councils, forcing swingeing cuts on their budgets, but only a Labour council can struggle to protect the poorest and most vulnerable people in our community.
