Lewes Labour Party – Make the Difference

Its a difficult time for politicians and especially for Labour as the party in government. The Local elections did not bring the results we would have liked, although we held on to 4 of our 5 seats in Hastings.

So we would like to thank all those who held faith with us and voted Labour on June 4th

We would also like to thank all those members and supporters who helped by putting up posters, campaigning and doing work behind the scenes.

Since the global economic crisis first hit Britain, Labour has never doubted how difficult it would be. Not just for our party but more importantly for our country. It’s indeed a testing time. An economic crisis and now a parliamentary crisis for MPs is a test of everyone’s resilience. Gordon Brown’s, the government’s and the country’s. It demands that we continue making the very difficult decisions but also it requires deep reserves of strength when things are difficult.

The task in front of us all is clear. First to clean up politics, secondly to push forward with our economic recovery and third to ensure the best opportunities for people through reformed public services that are tailored and far more responsive to people’s needs. The lesson that we have learned this week is that we must push ahead further and faster on all these three fronts. And to do this The Prime Minister has reshaped the Cabinet and will reshape and streamline how we deliver our policies for the country.

We can only build Britain’s future if we have not only a strong economy but good public services that can meet the challenges of the future. So the third leg of our strategy for building Britain’s future is the next stage of reform in public services, a reform driven by one central principle, that a fair society is one in which everyone and not just the privileged have a fair chance to succeed.
