Leave Liverpool Tidy ♻️

As we get towards the time of year where students leave the area, a quick reminder of the options available to donate unwanted goods, so we send less waste to landfill. Skip dates and dumping enforcement to follow.

Labour is the ONLY party that could have done this.

And Labour is the ONLY party that will continue to defend workers' rights in years to come.

Today, 500 more free breakfast clubs are opening for 140,000 primary school children across the country.

We're determined to bear down on the cost of living. This support alone will save parents up to £450 while giving them more time to get to work.

Labour is on your side.
