Gap between the rich and poor, we need aspiration not deprivation

You have to stop and ask yourself why at the end of 13 years of Labour government is the gap between rich and poor wider than at anytime since the Second World War?

Government reports on poverty in the UK show that the children of the poor are destined to live much harder and shorter lives than those of the wealthy. The poorest parts of the country are included in Tower Hamlets, no where more so than the area I hope to represent - Mile End East.

Residents there have been abandoned by Labour and want change. I hear it on the doorstep constantly. The truth is that the Labour party has an interest in keeping people's aspiration limited, this should not be he case, if you work hard it is possible to achieve anything, coming from one of 8 children I want people to know this.

Labour cannot for any longer claim to be the party of aspiration when its failure to tackle the causes of poverty has blighted so many lives. Here in Tower Hamlets we are only too aware on this. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1246333/Gulf-rich-poor-grown-Labour-widest-WWII.html
