Javeria Hussain pledged to “give voice to the hard working of this community” if she is elected as MP for NE Cambridgeshire. As exclusively revealed last night by CambsNews the Luton councillor has been confirmed as Labour’s choice to fight the forthcoming General Election.
“I’m thrilled to be chosen to stand for Labour in North East Cambridgeshire, where I was honoured to be on the local ballot as a MEP candidate in 2019,” she said.
“I also have friends and extended family living in the wider county of Cambridgeshire for many years.”
Cllr Hussain added: “I see the challenges faced by the local community after 14 years of a disastrous Tory government.
“Steve Barclay’s fingerprints as a minister are all over this truly terrible administration.
“I think it is important that the people of March, Chatteris, Whittlesey and Wisbech have an opportunity to vote for a Labour candidate and to support the policies that will transform the local area and Britain.
“Only a Labour government can deliver the change that North East Cambridgeshire needs: getting the NHS back on its feet and taking back our streets to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour.
