West Ham Labour Party Local Council Elections Celebration with Richard Burgon MP

Some pictures from our local elections celebration and fundraiser event held on Thursday evening in Eat16 (Canning Town) compered by our MP Lyn Brown and introduced our guest speaker, Richard Burgon MP, Shadow Justice Minister (while on route back home to Leeds).

Lyn spoke about how proud she was of the local elections result (we won 60-nil with I think over 50% of the vote in every seat) but how we must not take anything for granted at all and work even harder to ensure victory in future elections.

Richard gave a passionate and wide ranging speech about how absolutely vital it was to get a Labour victory at the next General Election. Including why we need to save our NHS from the Tories dream to have an American style NHS were hospitals first reach for your wallet before your pulse.
