2015 May

It was a great honour to “drag” the newly elected Speaker Mr John Bercow MP to the Speaker’s Chair after he was re-elected unopposed on Monday 18 May 2015 the day the Commons returned after the General Election.

At the General Election on Thursday 7 May 2015, Valerie Vaz was returned as Member of Parliament for Walsall South with a majority of 6,007 votes.

“The General Election is tomorrow. This election is about the difference between a Tory Government which represents the few and a Labour Government representing the many.”

“Yesterday I was campaigning in St Matthew’s with Eileen Russell and friends from Walsall North. I discussed with local residents how Labour will stop the privatisation of the NHS and cap the profits private companies can make from the NHS to ensure resources are spent on patient care.”
