Jack Straw rallies the troups in Kemptown
The Justice Secretary, Jack Straw MP, paid a flying visit to Brighton yesterday (July 2). After holding a soapbox meeting in the centre of town were he engaged with local people on Labours policies, he went to Kemp Town to meet supporters for the campaign to elect the former leader of the Council, Simon Burgess as the next MP for Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven.
Simon said:
“We hold a weekly 'stuffing envelopes' group, always made the more enjoyable by gossip and good company. This week was extra special with Jack entertaining the packed room. More people are getting involved since the strong showing of the Conservatives and the BNP at the European elections".
