Croydon Commons debate a ‘political stunt’ says Labour MP

Croydon Labour MP Sarah Jones has attacked a Commons adjounment debate on Croydon Council’s financial crisis as ‘a political stunt.’
In a Twitter post this morning Mario Creatura, a Conservative councillor for Coulsdon, said that the failure of Labour’s MPs attend the debate showed “They couldn’t care less.” But Jones, Labour MP for Croydon Central, said the debate was used as a way to attack the Labour Party, instead of as a way to consult on Croydon’s future.
She told Eastlondonlines: “Last night’s adjournment debate, which I watched, was a 20-minute political stunt, attended by one other MP. At the point at which Croydon council’s new leadership is in talks with the Government about the way forward, it was not a helpful intervention. My priority is to work with the council to develop solutions that protect residents and the services supporting them.”
