On behalf of Orpington Constituency Labour Party I would like to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a Peaceful New Year.

It has been a busy one for all of us, and I hope you are all able to take some time for yourselves and you family.

It has also been a tough one for many members of our community with the cost of living crisis, fuel crisis, and strikes caused by real time pay cuts and deterioration of working conditions causing difficulties.

I hope to see everyone in the New Year, ready to work towards ending the misery of a decade of incompetent and damaging Tory rule and improving life for all in our constituency and our country.

Once again, Merry Christmas,

Richard Honess

Secretary – Orpington CLP
