I prosecuted sex predators. Trump is one.
I shut down for-profit scam colleges. He ran one.
I held big banks accountable. He's owned by them.
I'm not just prepared to take on Trump, I'm prepared to beat him.
This is great news

What have local authorities ever done for us?
Bins, libraries, social care, housing, fixing potholes...
But apart from all that?

Big round of applause (& better funding) for local authorities please 👏👏👏
