May Day comes early as Prime Minister pays flying visit THERESA MAY declared her tour of a radar manufacturer as a “good example” of a British company in need of a “strong” government after Brexit when she visited the firm last week. The Prime Minister paid a visit to Kelvin Hughes, in Mollison
Avenue, Enfield Lock, on Thursday afternoon as she hit the campaign trail following her snap general election announcement two days earlier. She was taken on a tour of the factory, which makes and supplies navigation,
surveillance and security radar systems. She said: “We want to provide not just a good deal over Brexit, but good deals around the world to enable companies like this to grow, provide jobs and bring prosperity.” When asked how pollution levels
would be tackled across the borough of Enfield if the Tories were re-elected, Mrs May said that although nitrogen dioxide levels had fallen by 20 per cent from 2010 to 2015 across London, she was aware “more needed to be done.”
Surprise, surprise POLITICAL parties were caught on the hop in Enfield last week with the shock announcement of a general election in June. David Burrowes, MP for Enfield Southgate, said that other than Prime Minister Theresa May’s husband and close advisers everyone was taken by surprise by the calling of the election. The Tory MP said he would be standing again, despite one of his children taking A-levels and another GCSEs. Mr Burrowes said: “I was as surprised as everyone. I am standing again because I love representing my local area and think that I can continue to be a strong local voice.” Mrs May pledged several times after taking office last year not to call an election before the next one due in 2020. But she wants a strong mandate in parliament going into what are likely to be tough negotiations
over Britain’s exit from the European Union. Kate Osamor, Labour MP for Edmonton, said the move was an “extraordinary U-turn” by Mrs May, but she was looking forward to the prospect of campaigning against the Tories. Ms Osamor’s Labour seat looks safe. She won in the 2015 general election with a majority of 15,419. Meanwhile, the gloves are off in Enfield North with Joan Ryan, and Nick de Bois battling – yet again for that seat. Mr Bois was the MP for Enfield North before Labour’s Joan Ryan regained the seat in the 2015 election with a majority of 1,086. Mr de Bois has announced that – formalities permitting – he will stand again. He said: “If my adoption as candidate for the Conservative Party is confirmed, it will be an immense privilege to stand again for election and, if success-
ful, then champion Enfield by providing a strong voice in parliament. “By supporting me, residents would be helping Theresa May remain Prime Minister rather than supporting the Labour candidate which would put Jeremy Corbyn in power.” The Liberal Democrats said they were the real opposition to a hard Brexit and promised to defend liberal values and make their voice heard in Enfield Southgate, Enfield North and Edmonton. A spokesman said: “Nicholas da Costa will be our candidate in Enfield North. David Schmitz will be our candidate in Edmonton. You can say we’re in the final stages of finding an outstanding candidate for Enfield Southgate. We’re planning to fight hard Brexit and prevent the huge risks that presents to And they’re off: Prime Minister Theresa May the British economy.” Nominations must be in by visits Enfield just two days after announcing a snap general election for June 8 May 11.
