The Prime Minister attacked Labour’s financial record in local government as he launched his party’s local election campaign.
The Prime Minister has urged voters to “send a message to Keir Starmer” as he launched the Conservatives’ local election campaign.
“After having a fire-sale of assets, they still can’t balance the books, in contrast to the extraordinarily well-run Conservative Nottinghamshire County Council. In Derbyshire, where Mr Sunak launched his party’s local election campaign, the Conservatives have a commanding 18-seat majority on the county council – but suffered significant losses in the district council elections last year.Labour took control of five of Derbyshire’s eight district councils in 2023, including Amber Valley which covers Heanor, where the Prime Minister made his speech on Friday.
Nationally, last year’s local elections saw the Conservatives lose more than 1,000 councillors, while Labour overtook them to become the largest party in local government.
