LABOUR’S Nick Bent is delighted to have been elected as a parish councillor at Stockton Heath, after another bad election result for the sitting Tories.
Nick, who has twice failed to win the Warrington South parliamentary seat, is delighted with the turn out for Labour in the south of the borough.
Nick, the constituency spokesperson, for Warrington South Labour Party said: “We now have an extra Labour councillor in Warrington South (19 in total) because voters responded so positively to a strong local campaign with dedicated, dynamic candidates. I am thrilled all our hard work paid off.”
“We turned out thousands of voters here to help Labour’s David Keane secure a stunning Cheshire victory to become Police and Crime Commissioner. This bodes well for Labour if Cheshire and Warrington have a directly elected mayor under a devolution deal.”
“After some well deserved R&R, Warrington Labour’s focus will be on winning the EU referendum – if Britain leaves the EU it will put this town’s prosperity in serious jeopardy and most employment rights will disappear. Brexit is a gamble most Warrington families just cannot afford to take.”
“I am also delighted to have been elected to Stockton Heath Parish Council for the West Ward where I live.”

More scaremongering brexit lies from the stay brigade. Workers rights are just as likely to be threatened if we don’t leave this bloated, corrupt edifice that is the EU
Perhaps you could share your Appleton Borough Council result with us Nick.
You have to hand it to Nick, he’s a trier, or should that read tirer? He started with Westminster in his sights and tumbled his successive way down the elected roles to that of Parish Councillor. If had failed at that point there was only the Ink Monitor up for grabs.
Why does returning democracy to the electorate scare you so much? The EU is run by 28 unelected commissioners. Its parliament usually endorses what the commission requests of it. If you don’t fit the bill in your parish, the electorate will let you know at the next election. That can’t happen in the EU. The UK needs to be a democracy, however imperfect ours is currently. That everyone will lose their rights and the town’s prosperity will plummet is a prediction akin to David Blunkett’s ‘around 13,000 eastern Europeans will come to the UK each year’. It is a scandalous and unfounded statement. And Mr Bent knows it.
It was Blanket who, shall we say, configured the immigration figures by issuing work permits to many many thousands of economic migrants. Mr Bent is from the Blair school of politics – “never mind what you want let me tell what you are going to get.”
Freud slip…it should read Blunkett (apple predictive txt).
