Every vote for Labour is a vote for these two men and their war in Iraq.

Tony Blair's choice for Labour candidate for Brent East has shown her true colours recently. Local people were shocked that instead of campaigning for Brent East the Labour candidate was in Stratford, East London speaking for a pro-war Labour MP at a hustings meeting.

Local resident Eric Pollock said:

"Tony Blair and Labour took us to war in Iraq. The Labour candidate spoke for a pro-war MP and I am certain that if she was elected here she would vote exactly as Tony Blair told her to.

"It is clear that Lib Dem Sarah Teather stands on her anti-war record - she has voted against sending more troops to Iraq in Parliament."

The Lib Dems are the only main party who have consistently opposed the war in Iraq and are calling for a clear date for troops to come home.
