While Mancunians struggle to get by in the cost of living crisis, spending £5M of taxpayer money to pay for a parliamentary and mayoral by-election due to Labour incompetence is ludicrous.
This is Labours' own doing. They should foot the bill. Not the taxpayer.

Manchesters' Liberal Democrat councillors will continue to stand up for Mancunians each and every day and we will remain the real and experienced opposition to this Labour council.

I can’t wait to see Greens excusing this in all sorts of ways while still foaming at the mouth for the clegg coalition
The Tories and Greens are now set to hold talks over how they can work together to save the borough’s Green Belt, with both vehemently opposed to Labour’s plans for building thousands of homes at Crews Hill and ‘Chase Park’.

In the early hours of 17th December 2021, I said “our politics should be about creating a better country for us all, not a nightly soap-opera of calamity and chaos".
It’s still true.

Fantastic news from Stockport tonight 🧡
They've done it - the Lib Dems now have enough seats to form a majority at Stockport council. It has broken the no overall control deadlock that has been in place since 2011! More results still rolling in... @MENnewsdesk

The Labour councillor for Ancoats & Beswick failed to show up to their advice surgery this morning, leaving residents waiting. Lib Dem Cllr, Chris Northwood, stepped in to listen and help resolve issues. Labour are giving up on the job and the people of Manchester.

Antisemitism is a poison. It has no place anywhere. Anyone who has made antisemitic comments or holds such views simply isn't fit for public office, no matter which party (or non) they represent.
Discrimination has no place in our society.

“These are antisemitic attacks on British Jews, they are also an attack on our British way of life and our British values.”
