YOU really have got to hand it to long serving Labour loyalist Ann Wardle in her dutiful letter “Labour is the only way to go to fight these growing cuts”.

Shrugging their shoulders Southampton Labour councillors continue to make the cuts on our local services, (not much of a fight there Ann).

As to declare the only way to fight is to get a Labour government, Ann, if it did not hurt so many people this would be comical.

You know full well that if elected Ed Miliband and Labour are totally committed to carry on the cuts.

DON THOMAS, Independent Southampton City Councillor.
