Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Jamie Driscoll has made over £25k in GoFundMe campaign target under 2 hours as he plans to serve as an Independent Mayor for North East.
Taking to social media, Jamie Driscoll,said he has resigned from @UKLabour and serve as an Independent Mayor
He wrote: “We hit the £25k campaign target in under 2 hours. Unbelievable! Let’s see how far we can get to the £150k I’ll need to run my campaign against big party machinery. Be part of it. Donate here.
After his announcement, he decided to start a GoFundMe campaign to get more than enough for his forthcoming campaign.
“I’ve decided to resign from @UKLabour and serve as an Independent Mayor.
People are tired of being controlled by Westminster and Party HQs. They want someone to stand up for them. Let the people decide. £25k by end of Aug & I’ll stand as North East Mayor.”
His GoFundMe description reads:
“Even if you don’t live in the North East, this affects you. Our politics is a mess and millions of people feel no one speaks for them. Politicians should answer to the electorate – not to party bosses in London HQs. The only ‘whip’ should be the people.
But: as an independent I won’t have a national press office behind me, or big money donors. So I’ll need to get the message out to the people.
“A full campaign will cost around £150,000. I believe in listening to the public – so if you donate £25,000 by the end of August, I promise I’ll run. And I don’t hit that target, I won’t run. This decision is in your hands.
“As North East Mayor I’ll deliver a Total Transport Network, create a job for everyone who wants one, and deliver a Green New Deal. Find out more on my website https://jamiedriscoll.co.uk/.”
