DISILLUSIONED with politics? Fed up to the back teeth of political parties? Thinking about not voting on May 7?

Please think again.

This General Election could be one of the most crucial in our lifetime.

Crucial if you want to save the NHS admired by the world since 1947; if you want a welfare safety net for all; if you want social housing with affordable rents; if you want employment protection with a living wage – in short crucial if want a fairer society for all.

Make no mistake about it: if the Conservatives are returned to power a lot of the things we take for granted will gradually be eroded and eventually disappear.

It’s crucial to vote Labour on May 7.
