Petition launched to save Labour MP threatened with deselection over Syria views

A petition has been launched to save a Labour MP from deselection.

It was reported earlier this morning that Walthamstow MP Stella Creasy is under threat of having her seat taken away from her due to her views on Syria.

But Dartford resident Steve Doran praised her  work tackling pay day loans in an attempt to save her in a petition.

In it he said: “Stella Creasy, MP for Walthamstow, has proven time and again the influence you can have from opposition.

“She has been a rare example of a politician prepared to act as well as speak, to give power to the people rather than demand the people give her power. ”

“She has forced the government to regulate the legal loan sharking that blighted so many communities, she stood up for victims of domestic violence, she fought the wave of misogynist bullying that so many activists have to endure online.

“Now a vocal minority have decided they don’t like her. Well, I will not be the silent majority.”

The petition has been signed by over 300 people.

Creasy was first elected in 2010 and ran for the deputy leader of the party unsuccessfully earlier this year.

She was not offered a role in Jeremy Corbyn’s shadow cabinet.
