Christie Elan-Cane May 2, 2024

Just hours left to vote in #LondonElections. 11 London-wide seats on #LondonAssembly for grabs. #Brexit was a crime and we should not "move on". #UK needs to #RejoinEU & we need people in place prepared to make the case. Vote The Rejoin Party onto the London Assembly.
