"We spent a weekend here and thanks to mainly Tom's Tap and Ebenezer's we were welcomed with open arms and realised Crewe was the place for us.

"The Labour Party and Conservative Party are now the same, neither of them now represent workers - over 70 per cent of Crewe and the people need a voice."

Phil has promised the concerns of Crewe and Nantwich residents will come first above the nation, the Workers Party and himself, if voted in.

Mr Lane said: "The final straw was hearing customers and friends saying 'politicians are all the same,' they don't need to be.

"So I am standing as a representative of the Workers Party, I am funding myself and hope everyone who feels they are all the same will realise 'they' don't need to be.

"I promise if elected, I will represent the people of Crewe first, the nation second, the party third and myself last.

"I am available to talk to at The Dog's Dinner, 2 Ruskin Road and would welcome anyone to pop in and chat I'm not funded by trade unions or big business. It is just me and I want to make Crewe better."
