00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:08,400
yesterday my labor opponent brought Sir

00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:11,920
Richard lease the leader of Manchester

3
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:15,400
City Council to the Gorton constituency

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:19,199
so as to ensure that Gorton gets its

5
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:22,080
fair share of the 100 million going to

6
00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:25,599
be spent on Manchester's roads my

7
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:28,720
question is why did he have to do that

8
00:00:25,599 --> 00:00:32,040
why has Gorton been left behind with a

9
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:36,160
labor MP for 40 7 years where all the

10
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:39,680
counselors are labor and where 95 out of

11
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:42,559
96 counselors on the city council are

12
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:46,199
labor why has such a labor area been

13
00:00:42,559 --> 00:00:48,719
allowed to be neglected for so long

14
00:00:46,199 --> 00:00:51,120
anyone who drives around here knows the

15
00:00:48,719 --> 00:00:53,960
state of the place the people are very

16
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:56,640
angry Care Homes shutting down post

17
00:00:53,960 --> 00:01:00,079
offices shutting down the schools the

18
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:02,359
hospitals under pressure and of course

19
00:01:00,079 --> 00:01:05,960
half of all the children living

20
00:01:02,359 --> 00:01:09,759
officially in child poverty and

21
00:01:05,960 --> 00:01:13,119
74% three in four of the families in

22
00:01:09,759 --> 00:01:15,759
this area officially classed as lowi

23
00:01:13,119 --> 00:01:18,920
income families whichever way you look

24
00:01:15,759 --> 00:01:21,479
at it Gorton has been taken for granted

25
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:23,759
has been left behind if I'm the MP I

26
00:01:21,479 --> 00:01:26,960
promise you they'll be running to make

27
00:01:23,759 --> 00:01:26,960
it up
