Labour has a plan to tackle the cost of living crisis.
We would drop the Tory Tax rise and provide real help with energy bills - fully funded through a fair tax on the bumper profits of oil and gas companies.
The @Conservatives have cut funding to councils by £16bn since 2010, forcing councils to put council tax bills up by £10bn to try to fill the gap.
And Tory council tax bills are an average of £343 more than Labour's.
They ARE the cost of living crisis.

New analysis has found that the Conservative Government’s outrageous £4.3bn fraud write-off could fund Cheshire East for 14 YEARS!
This Tory Government is failing the people of Cheshire East.
The Conservatives raise our taxes and waste our money while doing precious little to help with the cost of living crisis that’s hitting families in Cheshire East hard.
The chaos in Downing Street is affecting us all.
Whilst Shell announce £19,300,000,000 in profits, energy prices are going up by 54%, hitting millions of households and plunging many into poverty
Meanwhile, the Government RAISES taxes on working families & WRITES OFF billions in fraud
This Tory Government don’t care about us
You don't have to be a brain surgeon to work out the PM has done wrong @KieranMullanUK. What else do you need to know before you jump off that fence? 🤔
Whilst families across Cheshire East face a cost of living crisis, the upcoming National Insurance hike, and witness the Government in crisis, our Conservative MPs are silent.

Nearly half of all Universal Credit claimants in @CheshireEast are in employment.
Most also have legitimate reasons why they’re unemployed.
People deserve support, not demonisation.

Families in @CheshireEast need a government that is on their side.
Instead they are getting tax hikes, no help with energy bills and a Conservative Party utterly distracted with its own crisis.
We deserve better.
Rishi Sunak’s £4.3bn fraud write-off comes to a cost of over £25m to Cheshire East.
Whilst Local Authorities are starved of cash, the Conservative Government allow fraudsters to get off scot free.
BREAKING: @BentleyMotors have announced they're going to build their first ever electric car in #Crewe – part of a £2.5 billion pound investment at the site.
One of the issues we hear about regularly is bus services.
@CheshireEast desperately needed this money, yet the Government has broken that promise.
Time and time again they promise everything and deliver nothing.
The Tories promised £3bn to improve bus services which would have made a huge difference to local communities. Now they have broken that promise too.
Rather than levelling up bus provision we are seeing services cut.

Conservatives in Downing Street partied away while people in Cheshire East suffered. They’ve been caught red-handed yet they lack the decency to be honest about it.
The rest of us followed the rules. They are taking us for fools.
