Welcome to the official account of Hazel Grove CLP, working hard in Hazel Grove, Offerton, Romiley, Marple, Bredbury & Woodley.

It’s now abundantly clear that there’s no need to vote tactically in Hazel Grove to keep out the tories. Labour CAN win here so #VoteLabour on 4 July and elect Claire as our first Labour MP

*Too close to call in Hazel Grove*

The latest from Polling Report shows Labour gaining ground on the Lib Dems and says our constituency is too close to call.

It’s clear that voters who support Labour can vote Labour with confidence 🌹

Business leaders are backing Labour nationally - a Labour MP in Hazel Grove will benefit local businesses.

Have you received your postal vote? Fill it in and post it today to ensure it reaches the Town Hall in time, and help to elect a Labour run Stockport Council.

Don’t delay, #VoteLabourToday 🌹

Andrey Melnichenko has now had his yacht seized by Italy, to go with the sanctions imposed on him across the EU on Thursday. Yet Liz Truss, who guaranteed £50.94mn in credit for Melnichenko's coal company in 2019-20, has still not added him to the UK sanctions list. Why is that?

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

Last night Boris Johnson ordered his MP’s to vote to include clauses in the Economic Crime Bill which will allow Russian oligarchs to sell off assets & escape sanctions & even included a loophole which could allow some to be exempted

I think the public should know this

[Andy Burnham @AndyBurnhamGM]

Don’t listen to them. Fracking is not the future. It delays it.

[Jon Trickett MP @jon_trickett]

• UK hourly minimum wage in 1998: £3.60
• UK hourly minimum wage today: £8.91

But....

• Highest UK pay packet in 1998: £0.63m
• Highest UK pay packet in in 2021: £421m

Wealth is not trickling down, it’s being hoovered up.

[Hazel Grove Constituency Labour Party @HazelGrove_Lab]

Houses earning more than people. Let that sink in

Unless you’re rich you’re screwed.

[Ed Conway @EdConwaySky]

That brings me to a pretty astounding statistic.
In the past year, the average house has earned more than the average youngster.
🏠 UK house prices are up by £24,600
💷 Over the same period the average 18 to 29-year-old had medium earnings of £23,250.
The asset divide is widening

[Andy Burnham @AndyBurnhamGM]

And here’s an interview on @BBCr4today this morning which sets out the problem - the Government’s defective directive on our 10 councils👇🏻

[Hazel Grove Constituency Labour Party @HazelGrove_Lab]

@WillSharpp Looking forward to working with you Will and winning in Offerton! 🌹

[Navendu Mishra @NavPMishra]

@WillSharpp @HazelGrove_Lab Congratulations @WillSharpp. I am looking forward to campaigning for you with the team at Hazel Grove Constituency Labour Party 🙌🏾

[Hazel Grove Constituency Labour Party @HazelGrove_Lab]

Have your say on the future of local planning permission in Stockport. Consultation ends Thursday! https://t.co/iIjLpmqygK

[Hazel Grove Constituency Labour Party @HazelGrove_Lab]

Brilliant turnout to our campaign event in collaboration with @Unite_Community to send a clear message to @William_Wragg to #StopTheCut to Universal Credit. We had a great response from the public too, angry that £20 a week is being taken from those struggling most.

[Deborah Meaden 🇺🇦 @DeborahMeaden]

All those worried about “ freedoms” perhaps you could turn some energy to the Crime and Policing Biil?

[Jon Trickett MP @jon_trickett]

Test & Trace should be run by the NHS.

[Zarah Sultana MP @zarahsultana]

Before the NHS was created, people said free universal healthcare was impossible.

A Labour government built the NHS and proved them wrong.

That should be our approach to social care: a National Care Service, free at the point of use, funded by tax rises on the super-rich.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

It's one rule for them and another for everyone else.
