Labour is on your side during this terrible cost of living crisis

Great to be out listening to local people in Battersea with Marsha de Cordova MP and friends.

Residents are concerned about the tough winter ahead with the cost of living going up.

Lots of appreciation for Wandsworth council getting more responsible behaviour from Lime Bikes

E-bikes are a great way to get around - but they must be parked responsibly.

Wandsworth’s council leader has written to the CEO of Lime Bikes asking for immediate action on their bikes obstructing our streets.

If action isn’t taken, Wandsworth Council will remove all the Lime Bikes blocking streets in Wandsworth this Friday

In the face of Tory chaos, we voted through our ambitious Cost of Living motion in the Town Hall:

✅ £5m support fund
✅ Same low council tax + pay Living Wage
✅ 4 years interest-free repayments for leaseholders
✅ £150,000 for charities

Excellent debut speeches by Juliana, Sana, Norman & Finna 👍

Wandsworth’s Labour council is first in the country to have the power to issue 20mph speed fines.

Making sure drivers stick to our 20mph limit improves pedestrian safety.

It also encourages more people to walk or cycle - and helps to reduce harmful emissions

London council is first in the UK to have power to issue 20mph speed fines The trial scheme is to be launched by Wandsworth next week

Terrific team out listening to local people in Putney this morning.

Vote Labour on May 5th for the same low Council Tax with better local services - and to send a message to Boris Johnson.

Read our manifesto for Wandsworth: wandsworthlabour.com/manifesto/

The Prime Minister and his Chancellor broke the rules they set - and then they lied about it.

They should resign

Labour has a plan to tackle the cost of living crisis.

Help with your energy bills funded by a windfall tax on oil and gas companies - plus scrapping the unfair National Insurance tax rise.

Seems the Conservatives have other priorities…

Wandsworth is a fantastic place to live. It’s strong, diverse communities represent the best of modern Britain.

Great to be with so many Wandsworth Labour friends at the launch of our 2022 Manifesto: Ambitious for all
