A dynamic meeting in Crawley saw local candidate Linda Bamieh and party leader George Galloway address an energized audience. Linda unveiled her five key ward priorities, highlighting the need for immediate action on critical local and international issues.

Linda’s key priorities include:

• Immigration Policy: A comprehensive review of Crawley Borough Council’s current approach.
• Crime Prevention: Tackling anti-social behavior at its root causes.
• Infrastructure Repair: Fixing deteriorated roads and public facilities.
• Accountability: Promoting transparency and holding the Council to public scrutiny.
• International Solidarity: Demanding a Gaza ceasefire, humanitarian aid, and accountability for UK complicity in global conflicts.

Labour’s Broken Promises Under Fire

Linda and George criticized Labour’s failure to honor their campaign pledges. Key issues raised include:

• Winter Fuel Allowance Cuts: Despite promises, Labour voted to end the allowance, affecting the vulnerable in harsh winters.
• Child Benefit Cap: Labour’s refusal to lift the two-child cap leaves 450,000 children in poverty.
• Austerity Measures: Anticipated pension cuts and tax hikes betray their pledge to ease financial burdens on working families.
• Foreign Spending Over Domestic Needs: Billions committed to Ukraine while domestic issues remain unresolved.

The Call for Change

“Labour is no different from the Tories—perhaps worse,” said Linda. “We must demand accountability and prioritize Crawley’s needs.”

The meeting concluded with a rallying call for action: “Together, we can hold them accountable. On Election Day, vote for Linda Bamieh!”
