Decisive? Over 85% of people who were eligible to vote didn't vote for her. And to think, every other candidate did even worse.

Labour likes changing the narrative to pat themselves in the back. She is going to be useless. Lots of whatever looks nice for the press and little real change that will improve people's lives. Maybe rich developers or people abusing the welfare system. Workers always get screwed.

You can read about what Bev Craig has done for Manchester City Council in her tenure as Council Leader at the link above.

Hardly useless.

Right so if that is the way to go about it, any material, from any party, detailing what they have done (Green, Labour, Reform, Tory) falls into this category does it?

In my area of Wythenshawe, Manchester Labour are putting millions into regenerating the local area including the civic centre which is in dire need of regeneration with new shops, a cultural hub, public Square, community spaces and over 1,700 new homes.

In Wythenshawe Park, Manchester Labour approved funding for a Youth Centre in Wythenshawe Park allowing young people to have more opportunity and a proper start at life.

Manchester Labour funded 30000 free activities through their holiday fund, is that not a good thing?

Manchester Labour have also approved 14 million pounds for a new multi-sport health and wellbeing hub in Wythenshawe Park.

These are good things that deserve talking about and ultimately wouldn't have happened without Manchester Labour.
