Context:  General election on 8 June is very different in many ways: As far as the Labour is concerned, social justice is high on the agenda, replacing the Blair era with people’s leadership as Theresa May acknowledged at the last PM question time, “I lead the country, you (Jeremy Corbyn) lead protests” – the protestsContinue reading “Labour could lose Harrow West!”

The Mirror reports today that Tory party donors are handed NHS contracts worth £1.5billion under health reforms, naming many donors including And Care UK that has contracts worth another £102.6million.

Both Lizzie Lumley, Tory Campaign Director for London, and Bob Blackman MP for Harrow East areContinue reading “What if Tories win Kenton East?”

Harrow Asian community leaders deplore community exploitation. India-Kashmir politics has no place in Harrow. Proud of good communal relationships. Context: Bob Blackman, Tory MP for Harrow East, was elected to represent all his constituents on equal footing but he takes sides with the disputed situations between India & Pakistan, like Kashmir, claiming that he speaksContinue reading “Divisive politics rejected”

The voters question the seriousness of the Tory candidate for the Kenton East by-election on 20 April as well as the basis of Tory campaign – party or religion (photo). Tory candidate Nitesh Hirani, headhunted for increasing Tory share of votes, has no track record of any socio-political interests in Harrow other than a localContinue reading “Tory campaign backlash!”
