John Cryer, Member of Parliament for Leyton and Wanstead
John was born in Yorkshire but moved to London when he was 18 and has spent most of his time since then in East London.
In 1997 he was elected as the Member of Parliament for Hornchurch and he quickly established a reputation as a hard-working local MP with very independent views.
He voted against the Iraq war and student top-up fees and led the successful campaign to save the Ford Dagenham car plant.

Leyton and Wanstead Labour Party officers present a cheque to Ken Livingstone
Labour’s candidate for Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone visited Waltham Forest this week to talk to residents and speak at a Public meeting in Leyton Town Hall. Leyton and Wanstead Labour Party gave his campaign a boost by presenting a cheque for £250 to Ken.
Ken also launched his Fare Deal this week. Ken says:
“The choice in London is fares rising above inflation every year for 20 years under the current plans, or a “Fare Deal” for Londoners that cuts them and keeps them lower. Our alternative vision for London is all about being on the side of ordinary Londoners, instead of a just a few.”
This pledge will see the average Londoner saving £800 over 4 years compared to Tory Fare hikes.

A well attended public meeting on the 15th June listened with concern to three speeches setting the shocking truth about the government’s plans for the NHS.
John Cryer MP told the meeting that the changes announced to the Health and Social care bill still include the provision to allow private health companies to use European law to force their way into the health service and put profits before patients.
Local Health Campaigner Neil Zammett spoke about the poor planning of health services in East London and the dire financial problems of our local hospitals. Neil called for a halt on changes and a cash injection to fund services properly. 
Norma Dudley from Waltham Forest Keep Our NHS Public spoke about the threat of privatisation to the integration of care that has been developed over many years locally and is now at risk from the Tories plans.
This was followed by a well informed and passionate debate from the floor with many speakers talking about their own or family’s experiences of the improvements to the NHS under the last Labour government, and their fears for the future.
