Labour Party Van Operated Illegally for Three Months!
- A red Peugeot van linked to the Labour Party was seen on the road without a valid MoT certificate.
- The MoT expired in August 2024, and it was only renewed on November 6, 2024.
- The incident has led to public criticism about legal adherence by political representatives.
A red Peugeot van registered to the Labour Party was found operating without a valid MoT certificate for three months. The certificate expired on August 5, 2024, and the vehicle was spotted on multiple occasions until it was successfully given an updated roadworthy certificate on November 6, 2024. This situation prompted criticism from residents, especially since the van is linked to the Erewash constituency represented by newly elected Labour MP Adam Thompson. The violation reflects a broader contention regarding adherence to laws by political representatives during their campaigns. Although a Labour spokesperson clarified that the MP was not driving the vehicle when observed, the incident raises questions about party practices and accountability.
