UNIONS MUST END RAIL STRIKES SAYS TOWN’S MP

East Grinstead’s MP Sir Nicholas Soames has again called for the rail unions to end the strikes which brought the town’s train service to a

standstill, on top of the very poor performance of Southern. Sir Nicholas and other MPs are in regular contact with the Secretary of State and

recently met the Prime Minister to raise the issue. The rail regulator has recently ruled that driver operated trains, the cause of the strike, are safe.

Sir Nicholas said: “I pray earnestly that we are going to see a resolution to these contemptible strikes which are causing residents and their

families such grotesque and appalling disruption. You have my profound apologies for the way in which your life is being mucked around”.

The referendum result last June was not just a vote to leave the EU - it

was about something much broader. It was about a deep, justified

sense that for many people the world works well for a privileged few

but not for them.

Our society should work for everyone, but if you can’t afford to get

onto the property ladder, or your child is stuck in a bad school, it

doesn’t feel like it’s working for you.

Our economy should work for everyone, but if your pay has stagnated

for several years in a row and fixed items of spending keep going up,

it doesn’t feel like it’s working for you.

Our democracy should work for everyone, but if you’ve been trying to

say things need to change for years and your complaints fall on deaf

ears, it doesn’t feel like it’s working for you.

We’ve achieved a lot over the last six years to tackle this: the

deficit down, more people into work than ever before, the

lowest paid taken out of income tax, a new National Living

Wage, one and a half million more children in good or

outstanding schools, 3 million new apprenticeships.

But more still needs to be done to put government at the service of

ordinary working class people – focusing on the good that

government can do. While Labour remain divided and divisive, it is

only the Conservatives who can make these changes happen.

Let’s rise to this moment together.

A COUNTRY THAT WORKS FOR EVERYONE
