Watch: Rachael Maskell says: ‘Labour has provided hope for our city’
After being re-elected as MP for York Central, Labour’s Rachael Maskell said: “The Conservative government brought this country to its knees, but today the country has raised their voices, and they’ve raised their hope in a Labour government which will serve this nation, repair the damage and make sure that we restore our country with the pride that we have and the services that we cherish so much…
“I want you all to take part in the future of our country, to ensure that we do build the services that we need, build the housing that this city is desperate for.
“We build our NHS as a strong public service, 76 years old today, as we celebrate the NHS birthday, as we sort out our schools and as we nationalise many of our services – building great British energy and renationalising our railway.
“Labour has provided such hope for our city, our country and the rest of the world as we provide that leadership that is so desperately needed at this time, and I want to thank every single person in York for turning out today, for voting today and taking part in democracy.”
