The Labour Deputy Leader added that speculation around jobs is “unedifying” and “tittle-tattle” and she is more bothered about jobs across the country. Obviously all the politicians care about is jobs…
Powell said there was no need for an election despite calling for them in the past:
“What people need to see now is us getting on with the job, delivering on the manifesto we were elected on only two years ago – a very bold manifesto.
