Stoke-on-Trent Labour

News and updates from your Stoke-on-Trent Labour Councillors

[David Williams MP @david4lcs]

Events we're seeing are far from the united strength our city’s motto, "vis unita fortior", stands for.

Violence & hatred have no place here. Division has no place here.

Stoke-on-Trent is about togetherness, whether it's the union of our six towns or the bond among our people.

[Dr Allison Gardner MP @AllisonCGardner]

Labour brought the NHS waiting lists down.

We’ll do it again.

[Yvette Cooper @YvetteCooperMP]

Shoplifting has soared & shopworkers are facing shameful violence & abuse. Yet the Tories have repeatedly refused to act.

Enough is enough. Labour will bring in new law on violence against shopworkers & end the £200 shoplifting rule.

Everyone has the right to feel safe at work

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

Labour will deliver 20,000 prison places to ensure that the most dangerous offenders are behind bars.

[David Williams MP @david4lcs]

✅ As your MP I will continue to support people, increase police on our streets, invest in our high streets, support local businesses and deliver more doctors, GPs and dentists.

🗳️ On July 4, Vote Change. Vote Labour.

[Dr Allison Gardner MP @AllisonCGardner]

Really grateful to everyone who has supported the campaign this week (and since it started!)

[Jane Ashworth @CllrAshworth]

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.

@RachelReevesMP 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.https://t.co/pG415ijRsO

😡 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.

[David Williams MP @david4lcs]

🌹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!

[Stoke-on-Trent Labour @SoTLabour]

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 Labour Party @UKLabour]

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

NEW: @Keir_Starmer's speech is underway - and he tells the electorate the opportunity to shape our country's future is in your hands.

Watch and follow updates (and rewind!) here

[Jane Ashworth @CllrAshworth]

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.

[David Williams MP @david4lcs]

👋 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.

[Richard Price @journoontheedge]

Labour selects Staffordshire commissioner candidate

[Yvette Cooper @YvetteCooperMP]

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

[Dr Allison Gardner MP @AllisonCGardner]

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

[David Williams MP @david4lcs]

👋 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.

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

Only Labour can deliver the change Britain needs.
