Welcome to the online hub for Manchester Labour!
Our aim is to make Manchester the cleanest, greenest and healthiest city.
As details of the scale of Tory Liberal cuts emerge one thing is clear - this is an unfair attack on the North, with funding being switched from Labour controlled cities to affluent areas in the South. While Manchester faces huge and unprecedented cuts to jobs and services, places like wealthy Dorset have had an increase in funding.
And what have the Lib Dem Tory cheerleaders in Manchester got to say about it? According to Clegg & Cameron’s man in Manchester, Cllr Simon Ashley, this is a "fair settlement" for our City. To add insult to injury he claims to be “comfortable” with the pace and depth of the cuts!
In response Labour's Candidate in Baguley, Tracey Rawlins said:
'The Lib Dems cannot be trusted to stand up for Manchester. Before the election they duped voters with false promises on opposing VAT rises, tuition fees and increasing police numbers, they are now proud cheerleaders for this right wing Tory Government. The Lib Dems have sold their political souls to get into power with the Tories and are now imposing huge cuts on our communities. These cuts go too far and too fast”
