 Foundations for winning Witney

  • Demonstrate local engagement so absent in Robert Courts MP

  • Use new monies to maximise local message and support councillors

  • Combine cutting edge social media with traditional campaigning

  • Energise local branches across constituency

 It is the best time to take on the Tories 

              

Beholden to Boris
until it was too late

Beholden to Truss
until it was too late

Betrayed our Trust
with their lying and incompetence 

           ****Time for a Change!****
