Ed Miliband Should Apologise Says MP
Christopher Pincher, Member of Parliament for Tamworth, commenting on the “knock and run” visit to Tamworth by Labour leader Ed Miliband, said:
“I hope Mr. Miliband took the opportunity to congratulate Conservative-run Tamworth Council for freezing council tax whilst protecting front line services. I also hope he apologised for the last Labour government which presided over a terrible 94% increase in youth unemployment in our town. Sadly I think he did neither. His trip lasted less than 15 minutes. He knocked on just three doors one of which is the home of a Labour activist. When the third person told him she is voting Conservative, Mr. Miliband leapt into his car and drove away.”
“In stark contrast, when David Cameron visiting Tamworth last year, he spent an hour walking around the market, talking to dozens of people.”
