Labour-run Wandsworth Council has decided to freeze Council Tax for a fourth consecutive year!
This decisive action means that local people will continue to pay the lowest Council Tax in the country, providing much-needed stability and relief. This freeze is a powerful example of Labour in power delivering tangible support for our communities. It shows a clear commitment to putting residents first, proving that the council and Wandsworth Labour are on your side.
 A wonderful evening with Ruth Cadbury MP and Labour members at the Brentford and Isleworth Christmas party this week. The dedication ahead of next May's vital elections is inspiring, with fantastic candidates standing to make a real difference for their community. Thank you for the warm invitation.
The energy this weekend for the Wandsworth Labour campaign launch was fantastic. A brilliant turnout of local people showed the incredible spirit and determination we have to take the fight to the Tories and secure a better future for our community. It is always inspiring to see so many neighbours and friends ready to stand up for the values we share. Our campaign is built on a proven record of delivery. The Wandsworth Labour council has proudly kept council tax the lowest in the country, a vital support for families struggling through a cost-of-living crisis. This is what Labour in power looks like: competence, compassion, and a focus on putting residents first. 
 The smears Hillsborough victims’ families faced were unacceptable and must not happen again. It is right that the Government is taking action to ensure a similar situation cannot be repeated. The new Hillsborough Law will mean:
Eight years ago today, I was selected as the Tooting Labour candidate for the by-election caused by Sadiq becoming a candidate for Mayor of London. It has been a huge honour and privilege to serve as the representative for the community in which I was born and raised. My heartfelt thanks go out to everyone who has supported me on this incredible journey.  History was made last Thursday as my friend and predecessor as MP for Tooting, Sadiq Khan, was re-elected for an unprecedented third term as Mayor of London. After weeks of hard graft, the result was a decisive victory for Sadiq and Labour with our wonderful capital rejecting the divisive, toxic politics of the Tory candidate. I look forward to continuing to work with Sadiq to make Tooting and our wider city a greener, cleaner, safer and more prosperous place to live.  Wandsworth Labour are freezing council tax for another year to help families through the cost-of-living crisis. At the same time, we're improving services and building a better Wandsworth.  Lovely to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon with local Labour members playing rounders and enjoying a picnic.  On polling day, I joined Labour Party candidates standing for council seats in Dover, Medway and Gravesham. Across the country, Labour won more than 600 local council seats in Stoke-on-Trent, Plymouth, Dover, Medway, and many other areas that we will need to win, if we are to form a Labour majority at the next General Election.
Talking to voters in these seats, it's clear that people right across the country have turned their back on the Conservatives, looking to Labour to deal with the cost-of-living crisis, tackle NHS waiting lists, and improving safety in our communities. The road to Labour in Government runs through our local councils, and I am hopeful this local victory will be the springboard to Labour’s general election victory. |
