Our candidate Hugo Fearnley visited Sirius Minerals to find out more about the company’s quest for government support.

Hugo has committed to supporting Sirius, and discussed the company’s needs with senior Labour politicians, including Jeremy Corbyn. The future of Sirius, says Hugo, will be considerably brighter under a Labour Government.

“The benefits to local people in terms of direct job opportunities and the far-reaching benefits to the local economy are exciting and very necessary. There is absolutely no way that Labour will turn its back on the people of this area in the way that this Government and the two local Tory MPs have done. We will explore every avenue available to support this project.”
