Yes. @IsabelOakeshott is spot on. I got a phone call from a private healthcare provider on behalf of the NHS today for my dads care. I don’t care who provides the service, as long as it is to the highest possible standard and is free at the point of use. #BBCQT

I was the @UKLabour Candidate for Old Bexley and Sidcup in 2017. Following my resignation from Labour I’ve spoke at length to @JBrokenshire and have come to the conclusion that there is no one better to represent Old Bexley & Sidcup in Parliament than him.

A vote for a Labour is a vote for Jeremy Corbyn, Diane Abbot and John McDonnell. Like many people in Bexley & across our country, I believe there has never been a group of people so unsuitable for high office. Don’t legitimise Corbyn. Vote for @JBrokenshire .
