Support for LDV

Just in case it drops out of the news: Over 800 people at LDV + up to 2000 in the supply chain have lost their jobs because this country is more inclined to support profligate bankers than our hard working and strategically important manufacturing industry. It is incredible that a Labour government can allow so many working people to be thrown out of work, adding to benefits costs whilst losing tax income. There are also the social and personal costs of unemployment to the families of those affected. There are too few politicians who have any experience of, or concern for the UK manufacturing sector. Is this because it doesn’t pay high enough wages?
