Labour Launches its Local Election Campaign

Labour candidates for the elections to Lichfield District Council on 4th May got together to launch their campaign this week and to agree their Manifesto for a Fairer, Greener Lichfield District. 

Meeting in Lichfield’s Hub at St Mary’s, candidates and activists endorsed their “exciting and progressive” plan for Lichfield District and agreed that, while campaigning so far has shown very positive results, they will not be complacent about any results until votes are counted.

Heading up the meeting as Labour’s Chair, Cllr Dave Robertson outlined campaign plans and said:

“We have worked together as a team to bring forward an exciting and progressive Plan for the District. We have learnt from the many Conservative failures over recent years and will now put forward an alternative Labour vision which will resonate, I’m sure, with voters.”

Labour Opposition Leader at Lichfield District Council, Cllr Steve Norman, said:

“We are ambitious but certainly not complacent and will work hard over the coming weeks to try to get our great team of candidates elected. While the Tories fall out amongst themselves, I am proud of the Labour team we are putting to the electorate and I hope we can add to the strong Group we already have at LDC.”

Mission-driven government

After 13 years of the Tories, nothing in this country seems to work anymore.

Five Tory Prime Ministers and what has our country got to show for it?

Prices going through the roof, longer hospital waiting lists and crime on the rise.

Last week, Keir Starmer set out how the next Labour government will be driven by five missions that will give Britain its future back.

Thousands of supporters have shown us that they’re backing our plan to build a better Britain by chipping into our fund to beat the Tories in the next general election.

Keir Starmer’s five missions for a better Britain:

  1. Secure the highest sustained growth in the G7
  2. Build an NHS fit for the future
  3. Make Britain’s streets safe
  4. Breakdown the barriers to opportunity at every stage
  5. Make Britain a clean energy superpower

The choice at the next election couldn’t be more clear.

Rishi Sunak is too weak to lead.

How can he get a grip on the country when he can’t get a grip on his own party?

Just look at his Home Secretary, who he rehired after breaking security rules. His former Chair of the Tory Party, who failed to pay millions in tax. And his Deputy Prime Minister, up to his neck in bullying allegations.

Britain deserves better.

The next Labour government, with Keir Starmer as Prime Minister, will restore Britain’s hope and deliver on the change our country needs.

Help us make it happen.

Thank you,

Team Labour
