WARRINGTON North MP Helen Jones has criticised the Queen’s Speech which she says is “thin on ideas, thin on ambition and thin on policies” to meet the challenges the country faces.
She said: “This was an opportunity missed. Instead of setting out a clear direction for the country, the government have produced a Queen’s Speech thin on ideas, ambition and policy.
“ After four years in government the Tory/LibDem coalition has run out of steam.
“People here in Warrington tell me that they are concerned about earning enough to make ends meet, paying their energy bills, getting on the housing ladder and affording decent childcare. The Queen’s Speech fails to deal with these issues. People deserve better.
“Labour would make work pay by rewarding hard work with a higher minimum
wage, freeze energy bills until 2017 while we reform the energy market, build much needed homes and stop local workers’ wages being undercut by banning recruitment agencies that only use overseas workers.
“Britain needs a change of direction and the Queen’s Speech fails to meet that challenge.”
