Thanks to Warwickshire Cllr Sarah Feeney for the welcome to conference speech this morning. #lablocal25

Getting ready for the ALC & LGA Labour Group local government conference this weekend.

John Prescott was a true friend of local government and inspired so many. We thank him for all he did. Goodbye and rest in peace. 🌹🌹🌹

Thanks @lgalabour.bsky.social for putting on this really insightful programme, and to all the great colleagues who took part with me. I learnt as much from them as the training sessions! I feel really lucky to have learnt so much on the Next Generation Programme #NG18

And that’s a wrap. Our next generation programme #NG18 has come to an end. Huge thanks to all speakers & trainers, but most of all to the group for all their hard work.🌹

Huge thanks to former next generation participants Arooj Shah & Eamonn O’Brien for leading a session at #NG18 this morning.

Our group leader @bevcraig.bluesky.social spoke to the next generation group #NG18 today about her leadership of Manchester City Council & LGA Labour. Bev then presented each attendee a certificate. Pictured here with Cllr Kelly Chequer, deputy leader of Sunderland City Council.

Huge thanks to @jimmcmahon.co.uk for a great session with our next generation #NG18 group this morning. Lots of discussion around Labour’s devolution plans and local government issues.

“We’re really committed, as we think about public service reform, to working alongside brilliant, dynamic councils like yourself”. Hear from Cabinet Minister Georgia Gould MP on her visit to Milton Keynes today 👇

Excellent 2nd weekend of our next generation programme #NG18. Thanks to Pascoe Sawyers, Kelly Middleton, Pete Starkings, Shama Tatler, Pete Marland, Amanda Serjeant & Nan Sloane

Great to welcome Liz Kendall MP to Smith Sq for a wide ranging discussion with @bevcraig.bsky.social about tackling child poverty, devolving employment support and the role local councils play in getting people back to work.

Putting power back into local communities is a priority of mine and of this government. Our government’s desire is to take power out of Westminster and give it back to local communities, while working with local councils collaboratively to achieve better outcomes for the communities they serve.

Congratulations to the winners of the LGiU councillor awards which took place, yesterday evening. Selected by a cross-party judging panel, all 5 winners are Labour councillors.🌹

We are deeply saddened to hear the news that John Prescott has died. John was a staunch defender of local government & a passionate supporter of devolution. He was a great campaigner who will be missed by so many in our Party. Our thoughts are with Pauline, Jonathan & David.

We’ve made a starter pack of Labour council leaders here on Bluesky! 🌹 bsky.app/profile/did:...

Kemi was of course local government minister when council tax limits were set at 5% The budget which followed planned the same for every year to 2028 They now want the investment but not the tax they planned for Same approach left taxpayers with a £22bn blackhole www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...
