The Labour MP for Harrow West has again been moaning about Harrow Council.

This would be fine if he remembered a few facts first:

He and his Harrow East MP colleague have failed to get the Government to give a better grant to Harrow.It is common knowledge that Harrow receives a derisory grant, but they appear to have either had no influence in getting this improved, or have not tried.

He must have forgotten that it was his Labour colleagues in the council that nearly bankrupted Harrow with a budget deficit of £3.5 million.

He must have forgotten that it was his Labour colleagues in the council that doubled council tax despite cutting vital services for Harrow residents.

He must have forgotten that it was his Labour colleagues who cut Harrow street cleaning expenditure by £3million.

Unless he is complaining about himself and his Labour colleagues? It is about time someone in parliament stood up for Harrow.
