Two Tory councillors - including the local Tory party leader - have defected days before the North Shropshire by-election, citing lack of faith in the Tory candidate & in the party as a whole. Here's what they had to say 👇(1/4)
#NorthShropshire @MatthewGreen02 @helenhalcrow
#NorthShropshire @MatthewGreen02 @helenhalcrow
"The Conservative candidate is from a city – he knows nothing about farming or anything Shropshire. I'm faced with no choice – how can I possibly back a candidate from Birmingham who has zero knowledge of North Shropshire and the challenges our community faces." (2/4)
"Like so many others, I’m getting more and more frustrated day by day with the continual cuts to public services such as the cuts to the ambulance service, cuts that are beginning to put lives at risk and can't be allowed to continue." (3/4)
It is clear that #NorthShropshire has no faith in the Tory party & that there is no support for the Tory from Birmingham who doesn't have the first clue about the constituency.
Active local campaigner @helenhalcrow is the natural voice for her constituency & the Tories know it.
