Channel anger by voting

Unite general secretary Len McCluskey kicked off his two-day election tour of Wales today (April 14) in Cardiff, where he joined Unite secretary for Wales Andy Richards,  shadow Welsh secretary Owen Smith MP, and Labour prospective parliamentary candidate for Cardiff Central Jo Stevens.

They addressed a crowd that gathered around the Nye Bevan statue in the city centre, including members of Unite and the local community, urging them to vote Labour in May.

McCluskey spoke to Kyle Rideout and Alex Parsons (pictured above), two young homeless men who happened to be passing by and stopped to voice their frustrations with the struggles they’ve endured in the shadow of Cameron’s austerity Britain. McCluskey encouraged them to channel their anger at the ballot box.
