Labour’s John Denham has been re-elected for Southampton Itchen in a close contest with the Conservatives.
John said, “During the campaign we talked to over 7,000 voters. You told us Labour had done good things, like SureStart, better schools and health services, cutting crime, and more support for families. I’m proud of all the things Labour has delivered for Southampton.”
“But you also told us there’s a lot to do, like building more homes for families and first time buyers; getting a better deal for hard-working families; enforcing fair but tough rules on benefits and controlling immigration.
“And it will take hard work to stop the damage the new Conservative-Liberal Government is planning. Labour’s plan to rebuild five local secondary schools must go ahead. We must keep Sure Start centres and stop the Tories’ idea to put up VAT.”
