James Purnell MP backs Philip Fitzpatrick

HYDE and Stalybridge MP James Purnell is among those who are backing Philip Fitzpatrick in the countdown to the by-election.Mr Purnell, who is Secretary of State for State for Work and Pensions, is part of the team of local politicians and Labour Party supporters who will be spending time in Newton in the run-up to the February 5 ballot.And he hopes voters will elect Philip as councillor, which would strengthen the Labour Party’s commitment to supporting local people.Mr Purnell said: “Labour councillors take on an active role in the Newton ward and have achieved considerable successes.“Living in the heart of Newton, Philip already understands many of the problems and challenges faced by those living in the ward."He would be a valuable addition to the Newton team – continuing the tradition of strong Labour politicians in the ward.”
