I want to thank everyone who worked so hard in Crewe and Nantwich: the campaign team, party staff, members of the PLP and the EPLP, and the hundreds of party members and trade unionists.
We are proud of their work and of Tamsin Dunwoody.
The result, like the local council elections earlier this month, tells us that people are concerned about rising bills and global economic uncertainty. The Tories benefited from these worries about the economy – but they have no answers and cannot say what they stand for.
The Government will do all we can to protect people’s standard of living and to see the economy through this difficult time.
Gordon Brown’s judgement [sic] and experience are just what is needed to take us forward.
Best wishes,
Harriet Harman MP
Deputy Leader of the Labour Party
God help us. A politician who is relying on Harriet Harman is surely doomed?
Peter Brookes illustrates the central problem with Gordon Brown.
