LEADER Jeremy Corbyn is in Trafford today to launch Labour’s local elections campaign, ahead of polling on May 3.
Mr Corbyn will tell Labour supporters that the elections are the perfect opportunity to send an "unmistakable message" to the government that "enough is enough".
Jeremy Corbyn is also expected to say that after eight years of failed and reckless austerity, the Tories are now demanding voters "pay more for less" — as council tax bills are soaring and local services are slashed to pay for tax handouts for the super-rich.
Citing Labour’s plans to transform the country and Labour councils’ records in the face of Conservative cuts, he will pledge that a vote for Labour in the May elections is a vote to "change direction" and build a country that works for the many, not the few.
He said: “On May 3, people across England will have the chance to send an unmistakable message to this government that enough is enough.”
