Rory Palmer, Labour’s Parliamentary Candidate for Bosworth, yesterday joined Labour candidates from across Leicestershire to launch the party’s manifesto for the East Midlands.
Cabinet Minister Ed Balls officially unveiled the manifesto, which sets out Labour’s plans to secure the economic recovery and protect frontline investment in communities across Leicestershire.
Rory Palmer said: “The choice is becoming ever more clear at this election. There is a choice between Labour’s plans to secure the recovery, protecting frontline investment in schools, Sure Start, the NHS and the police, or Cameron’s Conservatives who will bring devastation to our communities putting thousands of jobs at risk.
“Labour will put in the investment needed to drive the recovery, creating jobs for the future in new industries. Ed Balls made clear the choice facing people in Leicestershire and the East Midlands: a future fair for all with Labour or a future for the privileged few with Cameron’s Conservatives.
“The choice in Hinckley and Bosworth is clear. As the Labour MP for the area I will work to make sure the economic recovery is locked in and new investment and jobs come into the area. I will defend frontline services, just like we are doing now from the axe of the Conservative-controlled County Council. The results from the last four general elections show that it’s me as the Labour candidate with the strongest chance of beating Tory David Tredinnick in Hinckley and Bosworth.”
