Sarah Teather has taken so many U-turns that she’s tied herself in a knot

I am really confused about what our MP believes in anymore. Before the election, she expressed concerns about taking power away from local authorities with regards to school education.

She said: “Top-up and tuition fees are serious issues of concern to my constituents. All the evidence suggests that fear of debt [...]

Sarah Teather votes to cut police numbers

Sarah Teather’s voting record on the public whip website is concerning. This screen grab is just an example of how out of touch she is with what people want in Brent. Sarah Teather has her fingerprints all over the crime scene and has a lot of explaining to do with regards to her voting record.
