Afzal Khan, seen here with Whalley Range Labour members and supporters, has been elected as our new Member of Parliament with an overwhelming majority. He says “There is no doubt that the country faces some difficult times ahead – problems which are entirely the making of the Conservative Party and Theresa May.
