I HAVE never written to your paper before but all the comments and letter about Jacqui Smith compelled me to.
Peter Bolt makes an excellent point in his letter in the Advertiser on June 24.
Jacqui Smith needs to explain to the people of Redditch why she applied for a safer Labour seat away from her here.
As Home Secretary she refues to pay the police what was ratified by an independent body, breaking all traditional rules of government policy.
Pay negotiations: It has never happened before she along with many thousands of others.
I recently recieved a letter from the Rt Hon Jaqui Smith listing five main priorities as a Redditch resident.
Well here are my five main points. It is not about Jacqui Smith as a person but what, or who, she represents.
1. Britain went to war in Iraq following misleading information. More people have died since costing Britain millions of pounds and many lives of our armed service personnel. Tony Blair has a lot to answer to.
2. Taxation will rise after the election Labour have spun so may lies about what will be needed to pay off this huge debt in future.
3. No vote on Europe which was in the Labour manifesto.
4. Labour put into place a supervising system and people to monitor the banks, people appointed by Gordon Brown the so called expert chancellor, what a failure.
5. Whatever excuses are made by Jaqui Smith regarding the misuse of public money. The rules may have been poor but can she honestly say every claim she made was necessary for her to do her job as an MP?
