The shadow armed forced minister has come to Basingstoke on the campaign trail. Stephen Morgan, the Labour MP for Portsmouth South, visited the town on Friday to help his fellow party candidates campaign in the battleground seat of Winklebury & Manydown. He, alongside Alex Lee, who has served in Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan in the army and is now standing for the council, met veterans from the town to discuss the issues that they faced. Some of the issues talked about included housing, mental health and helping soldiers transition back to civilian life after they leave the army.
