Whether he was against immigrants buying houses in general or Russian ones in particular, or perhaps it&#8217;s just rich ones he is against?<\/p>\n<p>He reminded me of the late Bob Crow who spoke at a TUC conference fringe meeting here in Brighton saying how immigration means his trade union members losing their jobs to someone willing to work for a bowl of rice a day..<\/p>\n<p>How does the hard left view immigration and housing when there is such a shortage of homes for British born people? They really should make their views clear.<\/p>\n<p>Jones met with whole hearted support when speaking of Nancy Platts as<strong> he also said;<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>She will stand up and represent working class people. We have an incredible and inspiring candidate here.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yet as soon as the speakers had finished and questions were taken from the floor a 70 year old woman immediately asked if Labour was going to look after the elderly as well as the working class.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Platts had surrounded herself with a young team including one of the panel said she was too young to vote.<\/p>\n<p>In the election of 2010 Nancy Platts narrowly lost out to Green MP Caroline Lucas in Brighton Pavilion. Some commentators put this down in part to the number of students who have term time lodgings in that constituency and many of whom turned out to support Mrs Lucas.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst there are students living in Kemptown, there are many more who are not including those who live in the retirement homes stretching along the coast.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Labour must come clean on their plans for the elderly. Also if young immigrants are going to be encouraged to settle in the UK it must be realised that each one has two parents and four grandparents who will need to be cared for. So perhaps we need the Russian billionaires after all.<\/strong><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8815\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8815\" style=\"width: 570px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/coopsy.co.uk\/thenews\/wp-content\/uploads\/Labour-Solomon-Curtis-Wealden.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-8815\" src=\"https:\/\/coopsy.co.uk\/thenews\/wp-content\/uploads\/Labour-Solomon-Curtis-Wealden-570x318.jpg\" alt=\"Solomon Curtis Labour candidate in Wealden, Sussex.\" width=\"570\" height=\"318\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the-news.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/Labour-Solomon-Curtis-Wealden-570x318.jpg 570w, https:\/\/the-news.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/Labour-Solomon-Curtis-Wealden-300x167.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 570px) 100vw, 570px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8815\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Solomon Curtis Labour candidate in Wealden,<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; <\/p>\n<div style=\"position: absolute; overflow: hidden; width: 2px; height: 1px; left: -288; top: -277; z-index: 177;\">\n<div style=\"position: absolute; overflow: hidden; width: 2px; height: 1px; left: -288; top: -277; z-index: 177;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/strongtoday.xyz\">get more<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By William Mills<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8811,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[104,103],"tags":[115,594,1347,1348],"class_list":["post-8810","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-local-news-brighton","category-politics-2","tag-labour","tag-nancy-platts","tag-owen-jones","tag-tony-blair"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
