Martin Bell helps Reg Keys Launch Sedgefield Election Campaign

Reg Keys, father of a solider killed in Iraq, launched his election campaign today in Sedgefield confident that he can unseat Tony Blair.

Keys for Sedgefield Campaign

Reg Keys, founder member of Military Families Against the War, will formally begin his campaign to contest the Sedgefield constituency in the forthcoming general election at a press conference at 12.30 on Wednesday 6 April 2005 at the Eldon Arms, Ferryhill, Co Durham, UK.

This will be preceded by his first meeting with voters outside Tesco's supermarket in Newton Aycliffe town centre at 11am.

Reg Keys will be standing as an independent candidate on a 'truth and trust' programme calling for a full accounting from the Prime Minister for the war in Iraq in which his son Tom was killed.

"I want to hold Tony Blair to account for his deceit," he says. "My son Tom believed what he was told, but Blair lied to him, and to all those other soldiers who came home in coffins after fighting in a war that was illegal and immoral.

"The people of Sedgefield need an MP they can trust to speak and act honestly on their behalf. It is time to bring accountability back into politics."

Also present at the press conference and canvassing will be Brian Eno, musician and impresario, Martin Bell, former independent MP for Tatton and agent Bob Clay, former Labour MP for Sunderland North.

We need your support. Please contact us if you want to help in anyway.
