Conservative Councillor Vanessa Brown (Opinion, May 11) should have been more aware of what the Conservative Party is up to.

At its manifesto launch, children were used to wave their "support" for William Hague. At least under the government I have supported, class sizes are down and investment in all schools is considerably up.

That's what people tell me really matters and is a clear sign of Labour's commitment to public services.
