Matt Hancock Endorses Robin Pilley for Haverhill East By Election

MP for West Suffolk, Matt Hancock, endorses Elaine McManus as candidate for the Haverhill North By Election on 3rd May.

Speaking in the video, Matt said,

Two of the three UKIP councillors on St Edmundsbury Borough Council who represent Haverhill have resigned to become Independent members, leaving just one UKIP councillor. And as a political group must consist of at least two members, the UKIP group has therefore been dissolved by the council.
