On behalf of the Stoke-on-Trent Labour Group, I’d like to wish everyone celebrating across Stoke-on-Trent a joyous and blessed Eid al-Fitr. May this special day bring peace, happiness, and prosperity to everyone. Eid Mubarak!

Rishi Sunak is letting tax dodgers avoid paying what they owe.

Rachel Reeves will take on the tax dodgers to fund more NHS hospital and dentist appointments, and free breakfast clubs for all primary school pupils.

That's the difference Labour will make.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

😡 CONSERVATIVE PLAN TO CUT CARERS PAY

➡️ At the council's budget meeting, the Conservatives only proposal was to CUT pay for our carers

➡️ They want hard-working carers who look after our families to pay the price for years of Tory mismanagement locally & nationally. Shameful.

🌹HIGH LANE & SURROUNDS 🌹

✅ We had such a brilliant time listening to residents along High Lane, Norton Ave, Patterdale St, the Acreswood Estate and Dunwood Drive and Sunningdale Close.

✅ Great discussions on a range of issues.

✅ Thanks so much everyone for speaking to us!

Today we launch our brand new campaign for 2024 & we would very much like you to join us

We urge all the big chains Tesco Morrisons Asda @LidlGB Aldi Stores UK M&S Waitrose & Partners Co-op Sainsbury's to reconsider the use of ‘use by’ and go for a ‘best before’

Thank you

After the Conservatives raided the Council coffers to build car parks and vanity projects, Labour's making the sensible decisions to protect our City, our residents and our services.

The Tories have raised taxes 25 times since the last election.

Folks told us they wanted a cleaner city and we are delivering on that.

Last year, in this alley, Council staff cleared around 50 reports of illegal dumping and issued 20+ £400 fixed penalties.

Illegal dumpers are on notice: Today the fines have increased to up to £1000.

👋 OUT IN KIDSGROVE

✅ Great to speak to so many Kidsgrove residents.

✅ For so many around Birchenwood, off-road bikes is raised constantly as an issue but with police resources stretched-there are hundreds less officers locally than in 2010-residents do not see enough action.

Total Tory chaos over Rishi Sunak’s failing Rwanda plans

More Home Secretaries sent to Rwanda than asylum seekers

Costs now up to £400m

Tory groups tearing chunks out of each other - a bill no one believes in, and a PM too weak to lead

Britain deserves better than this chaos

Absolutely appalled by the divisive rhetoric from Tory MPs in the debate on the #RwandaBill

It is 13 years of Tory cuts and mismanagement which has seen our public services in ruins. Not immigration.

The bill is merely a gimmick, aiming to erode our hard-won community cohesion

👋 OUT IN GOLDENHILL 👋

✅ It was really enjoyable speaking to residents around Goldenhill today.

✅ Thank you to everyone who took time out to speak to me. We had some really interesting conversations and with every conversation I learn more about what really matters to you.

Ten past 8 in the morning, pouring down with rain, still dark, 2 food collections done because we are passionate about what we do and our City.

Today we have free food, our foodbank, our social supermarket and cafe all open while Nikki is in Morrisons selling food parcels.

Only Labour can deliver the change Britain needs.

This is unbelievable.

£290m of UK taxpayers money to Rwanda (£240m sent & £50m more soon) without a single asylum seeker being sent

Tory Ministers repeatedly refused to come clean while they kept writing more cheques

Britain can’t afford more of this costly Tory chaos & farce

Today I met a woman who was trafficked from Albania for forced rape. UK government is telling her she must return because Rishi Sunak is behind in the polls. Levels of danger for trafficking victims is increased by his failings. He deserves the disdain he receives from the UK.

Signed, sealed, not delivered.

People in our city are being evicted having done nothing wrong. 359 families turfed out, through no fault of their own, since they promised to sort it out. 20,000 people in our city at risk. Yet the Stoke Conservatives don’t think it’s worthy of their time. Shame on them.
