Hyndburn Labour election campaign in full swing

The Hyndburn Labour election campaign is now in full flow as figures show Hyndburn residents are £1,600 a year worse off under the Tories and Lib Dems. The Tories and Liberal Democrats claim hardworking families are better off. The truth is they are £1,600 a year worse off under David Cameron.

Miles Parkinson, Labour Group Leader said, “This Tory-led Government is claiming that people are better off. But David Cameron, George Osborne and Nick Clegg simply don’t understand the cost of living crisis facing hardworking families in Great Britain.

“The truth is, hardworking people in are £1,600 a year worse off under David Cameron. Britain is facing a cost of living crisis in rising prices, stagnant wages, long hours, falling living standards and declining opportunities for their kids.

“From Oswaldtwistle to Great Harwood, people in communities across the borough will be better off with a Labour council, prioritising housing and front line services, not worse off with the Tories who will cut services and not plan for the future.”

Bernard Dawson, Labour’s Huncoat Candidate said, “Working people in Huncoat know the Tories are making the cost of living crisis worse not better. In local councils, in Westminster, in Europe, the Tories
repeatedly put a privileged few before hardworking families. Hardworking people, the next generation, our schools and hospitals – all are worse off under this Tory-led government.

“The Tories, supported by their Liberal Democrat allies in government, can’t solve the cost of living crisis because they put the privileged few before working people. UKIP are not capable of holding the Tories to account and getting fairness for working in Hyndburn.

“These elections are your chance to tell this Tory-led government to put hardworking people first and take real action to tackle the cost of living crisis. Only by voting Labour can you send a message to this Tory-led government.”
