The contrast between Labour and Tory could not be greater. While Labour is determined to look after ordinary working people, the Conservatives look after a privileged few.
No wonder Labour has won three by-elections in Oxford one after the other. No wonder it took Labour’s action in Scotland to prevent the break-up of the United kingdom.
David Cameron and Nick Clegg claim the economy is on the mend. But most people are struggling against low wages, high housing costs and worsening public services.
While the Conservatives fight among themselves only Labour is offering a plan to get the whole country back on its feet. Only Labour will balance the books, raise the minimum wage and restore the 50p in the £1 tax rate on millionaires.
Cllr John Tanner (Labour) Board Member for a Cleaner, Greener Oxford (inc. Transport) City Councillor for Littlemore & County Councillor for Isis
