Paul Nuttall does not stand up for working people – Lavery
Ian Lavery, Labour’s Elections and National Campaign Co-ordinator, responding to Paul Nuttall’s speech to UKIP Spring Conference, said:
“You cannot trust a word Paul Nuttall says, he’ll say anything to try and get elected. His speech today is simply more empty rhetoric from the leader of a failing party that has no answers to the challenges we face.
“Paul Nuttall does not stand up for working people, just as he does not stand up for the people of Stoke. All he wants is to get to Westminster to back the Tories and privatise our NHS. A vote for him is a vote to break up the health service as we know it.”

The Green Party has responded to UKIP leader Paul Nuttall’s plan to divert foreign aid spending to the NHS, which he raised during a speech at UKIP’s spring conference in Bolton.
Jonathan Bartley, Green Party co-leader, said:

“Nuttall is trying to pretend this is a silver bullet solution but we need to be honest – there’s a simple way to ease the pressure on our overburdened NHS and that’s to make the richest pay more tax. Our foreign aid spending is crucial to help stamp out inequalities around the world. A solution that simply creates another problem elsewhere is no solution at all.”
