Commitment of York Outer Conservative questioned as figures reveal he’s ‘less than 10 times active’ than York Central MP

Labour’s candidate for York Outer Luke Charters has questioned Julian Sturdy’s commitment to his constituents, as analysis reveals the Conservative MP has made under 10% of the number of spoken contributions in parliament compared to the Labour MP for York Central, Rachel Maskell

Julian Sturdy MP has made a total of just 103 spoken contributions since the last General Election in 2019. This compares with Rachael Maskell’s astonishing 1086 contributions since the 2019 General Election.

Labour’s candidate for York Outer, Luke Charters, has questioned Julian Study’s commitment to his constituents as Parliament returns today (Monday 4 September 2023).

Luke said:

“Julian Sturdy is over 10 times less active in Parliament than Labour’s hardworking MP for York Central, Rachael Maskell, measured by spoken contributions.

“On key issues Mr Sturdy has remained silent, such as the river pollution York has seen in the past year, or how his party have cut council budgets resulting in York being the least well-funded council per person in the country. It’s clearly time for a change in York Outer.”

“The residents of York Outer deserve an MP who works tirelessly for them and who puts their interests first. Being from York, and now raising my own family here, I’ll be the hardworking MP we desperately need”.
