THURROCK’S Labour MEP Richard Howitt is a very busy man. Brussels one day or three, then off to Sri Lanka and then back to his constituency.
But with such a vast remit, what does Thurrock mean to him and how does he keep in touch with the issues that affect the area.
YT caught up with Mr Howitt in the borough recently to assess how he perceives Thurrock.
As usual, a politician who can’t answer a question… The question was “Do you think the people in your constituency know what you do?”…. Listen again…. Answer it yourselves…. NO, we don’t…. It’s a shame that Mr Casey didn’t do a Paxman on him.
