What Labour promised versus what Labour did.
Labour promise during the election:
We'll cut your energy bills.
Labour in government:
Energy bills up 10% - on top of taking Winter Fuel Payments away from ten million pensioners.
Alderman John Jackson RIP
I was very sorry to learn that Alderman John Jackson, a former councillor and Mayor of Copeland has died. (To avoid any confusion, I should probably explain that he was Mayor when this was the title of the councillor who was in the council chair that year, and who acted as the ceremonial mayor and first citizen. It was an entirely different post from the subsequent office of directly elected Mayor, who was essentially an elected leader.) John was a straightforward, no-nonsense honest and kind individual who worked hard for his constituents as a councillor and for his community in everything he did. He will be missed. Rest in Peace.
