Delighted to share that I've been elected national Vice Chair of Young Labour, supporting the incredible @emilyrmoorex to deliver for young members in every nation and region 🩷
90% of the campaign has been attacking Labour for growing the city-region using a loan fund that *had to be used* to drive market residential growth because that's what the Conservatives mandated. Every penny was paid back multiple times and the Greens know that. Populist slop.
What Polanski fails to understand is that the growth Andy and Sir Richard Leese before him championed is the exact reason we can now invest hundreds of millions in surrounding towns through the Good Growth Fund - it wouldn't exist without the city-region's recent prosperity.
Over the last few years, NEC members like @CampaignJane have been crucial in making us electable again as a party and keeping our collective focus on winning power! I'm proud to be first-preferencing Jane, along with the dynamic @AbdiDuale_ , @angela4LME and @_petermason 💖
Our polling of Greater Manchester ahead of Thursday’s by-election shows Bev Craig holding a clear lead.
