Dear Sir,

Following the attack in last week’s paper on the Conservative candidate for Sedgefield I would like to point out the views of Labour’s top team: Jeremy Corbyn said “We celebrate the achievements of Venezuela”. Would you like our country to be in the same mess as Venezuela?

John McDonnell Shadow Chancellor on the financial crash said “ I’ve been waiting for this for a generation. I am a Marxist”. Would you want a self declared Marxist to be in charge of the finance in our nation?

Emily Thornberry Shadow Foreign Secretary would not ban people returning from the Islamic State as it would make them stateless. Does this make you feel safer?

Diane Abbot Shadow Home Secretary said “Some people would say Mao did more good than harm”. This is a man that killed up to 60 million people!

It really is worth thinking about your vote rather than voting for a Party led by these people.
