I am amazed to read that Jim Fitzpatrick MP is blasting Boris over housing. If I were a Labour MP housing would be one of the many things I would not want to talk about - giving their appalling record on it.

What Jim Fitzpatrick fails to mention is that this Labour government has built fewer social homes year after year than were ever built under the last Conservative government. Their record on housing is appalling. We have 23,000 people on the housing waiting list in Tower Hamlets, 14,000 of whom are living in over-crowded conditions thanks to Labour. Whats more the state of repair is shocking, blocks due to be demolished 3 years ago are still standing with only reinforcement pins holding on balconys and death trap corridors with wires exposed and fire escapes blocked.

Perhaps Jim should look for other issues to thrown stones about. That is after all whether or not he is still standing as the Labour candidate in Poplar. The last leaflet he was dishing out failed to mention this or Gordon Brown. Strange that isn't it?
