Three weeks ago, Bob Blackman MP had the chance to go to the House of Commons to vote to protect Harrow’s carers from an unfair and unjust tax.
Instead, he voted to continue to make life harder for people working round-the-clock to care for loved ones.
Even if you agree with the policy, it is simply cruel not to protect the 26,000 carers who work day and night, often unpaid, to care for others.
Having met with Harrow Carers recently, I have heard firsthand about the difficulty faced by carers in our borough and I am appalled that Bob Blackman has not taken this opportunity to help.
If I am elected next year, I will support the Labour Party policy of abolishing the ‘Bedroom Tax’.
