Liverpool Community Independents group, who hold both Garston seats on Liverpool City Council, steps up campaign to remove Labour right-winger
Supporters of Liverpool Community Independents general election candidate Sam Gorst have taken to the streets in big style to raise awareness of his campaign to become MP for Garston in the south of Liverpool and unseat Labour right-winger Maria Eagle.
Gorst, who lives in the seat and with colleague Lucy Williams trounced Labour in last year’s local elections in the previously die-hard Labour seat despite a sewer-level smear-filled Labour campaign against him – formally launched his campaign in February.
Since then, teams of well-wishers have been pounding streets up and down the new constituency, formed from the old Garston and Halewood occupied by the MP known locally as ‘the lesser of two Eagles’ because of the conduct of her sister Angela on the other side of the Mersey.
But now the campaign has added a new way of raising awareness among voters and getting Gorst’s message out, in the form of a large road-borne hoarding, as video and photos of it’s first day on the streets show:
Gorst will be holding a ‘Super Saturday’ event next weekend and will be welcoming supporters from near and far.
