This man Stephen Andrews, is the campaign Coordinator for Labour as you can see in the screenshot above. He’s also as you’d expect not above blatantly lying to make his party look better than they actually are. In fact, he was probably the one who told Labour activists to lie on the doorstep about fictitious Tory misdeeds.
In a rather brazen attempt at credit taking, Andrews has not only lied that the £400k funding for social housing was a result of the ‘forgotten estates’ pledge being fulfilled, he’s thanked Labour Cabinet member Councillor Ben Clarke for securing it. Which is interesting, because it wasn’t as a result of any Labour policy, nor was it secured by Councillor Clarke, who has been in post for all of a few weeks. It was put in the budget for this year by the outgoing Tory administration. Yes, the nasty Tories that ‘forgot’ the council estates that several of them grew up on.
The absolute shameful behaviour at claiming this funding has anything to do with Labour is typical of the party. The lying Labour wannabes have even gone to the effort of press releasing it to the BBC to make sure the whole country knows what a fantastic job ‘Labour’ are doing. Unfortunately the public of Tamworth won’t really care, and that’s what grates us here at Debunking more than anything. He’d have gotten away with it completely too if it wasn’t for our pesky website. We do hope that the Tories congratulate Councillor Clarke for ‘securing’ the funding at tonight’s Full Council meeting.
