Following the recent election I wrote to Cat Eccles our new representative in parliament to ask for clarity on some of the statements in the Labour Party manifesto.

I asked where she stands on full term abortion, banning conversion therapy, including Islam in blasphemy law.

I explained I have more questions regarding their manifesto but this would be a start.

She replied to say she was too busy to reply on 24/7 but would answer in a few days.

Still waiting for the reply over six weeks later.

Parliament has just voted on cutting winter heating allowances for pensioners I checked to see how my representative voted. She did not cast a vote!

By contrast Suzanne Webb still sends out regular updates and always answered every question I put to her even if I did not agree with her reply when she represented us in parliament.

To all who voted Labour, congratulations,

Peter Jenkins, Stourbridge
