The Labour Party: 30/04/2012 Party Election Broadcasts

We've all seen party political broadcasts before, but this one's a

bit different. This is a party political broadcast on behalf of

ordinary Londoners. London desperately needs a mayor who's in

it for London. Who understands what matters to ordinary people, like

cutting fares on public transport. In the last four years fares on

buses, trams... Tubes, trains and DLR... Have gone up above inflation.

Every year. The price of a single bus fare is now 50% higher than

four years ago. That's too much. Cutting these inflated fares will

save us..., �1,000 over four years, putting money back in our pockets.

If I haven't stkhrifred that cut by October 7 this year, I will resign

no, question. That's why... We need a mayor. Who didn't cut police

numbers while robbery and knife crime rise. A mayor who spends more

time meeting the police... Than meeting bankers. Shouldn't he care

more about pensioners being able to pay their heating bills. That's

millionaires reducing their tax bills. London needs action now on

high rents and rip-off landlord fees. On our electricity bills, on

the cost of child care. On keeping young people in education by

reversing the Tory cuts... Education Maintenance Allowance.

need a mayor to defence the NHS gets Tory cuts. And increase police

numbers. In tough times like these, we need a mayor are Labour values;

a mayor to feel they have one of their own. On their side. We need a

mayor for the majority, not the few. Ken, you can do this for London.

Come on Ken. Do it for Londoners. We know you can do it. Come on Ken.

Londoners need some help. Come on Ken! London needs you. Come on Ken.
