Greg Tucker was a Labour councillor in Lambeth from 1986-1994. He was expelled from the Labour Party in 1993. Now he is standing in Tulse Hill ward for the Socialist Alliance. This is his personal manifesto:
"As a local trade unionist / have fought for years to defend my fellow rail workers. For eight years on Lambeth council I stood up for local people. I am proud of my record of opposition to cuts and privatisation of local services.
"As a councillor I campaigned against war in Iraq. The same issues face us today.
"With thousands of kids without school places, why were Labour and the Lib Dems selling off our schools? "Instead of turning Dick Sheppard school into luxury flats, we need to invest in comprehensive education.
"Why did Labour and the Lib Dems allow Capita to wreck the lives of thousands of Lambeth residents with their mismanagement of housing benefit? Instead we need to bring all council services back under local democratic mandement "Labour in government is wasting millions of pounds on unnecessary wars abroad. Instead I want real investment in local services here at home, to give dignity in retirement to our elderly and to invest in a future for our young people.
"Being a councillor should be about more than deciding which private contractor gets to make profits at our expense.
"The Socialist Alliance is proud of working with the tenants movement, the pensioners' movement and other local campaigns fighting for a fairer society. "As a local councillor my promise is not that | decide what is best for you, but that I will work with you, fighting for working the interests of our community"
