Commenting on the decision of Haringey’s two Labour MPs to vote in favour of George Bush and Tony Blair’s drive for war in Parliament last night, Lynne Featherstone, Lib Dem Parliamentary spokesperson, said:

“Yesterday’s vote shows that Barbra Roche and David Lammy are woefully out of step with the concerns of people in Haringey, who do not believe a case for war has been made.

“Mrs Roche in particular, should note that while nearly all our neighbouring Labour MPs voted against war, she has backed George Bush’s war agenda.

“Our local MPs should join calls to allow inspectors to have sufficient time to do their job. Instead they have fed the drive towards war in Iraq.”
