PRESS RELEASE FROM THE LEADER OF STOCKPORT LABOUR GROUP

LIB DEM COUNCILLORS RESIGN FROM STOCKPORT LIBDEM GROUP


Two long standing LibDem Councillors have resigned from Stockport LibDem Group as they can no longer support the policies being pursued by their Party as part of the Tory-led Government.



Cllr David White and Cllr Roy Driver will form a new Independent Group on Stockport Council. They have both applied to join the Labour Party and have agreed to take the Labour whip.



Cllr Andy Verdeille said “I am not at all surprised these Councillors find themselves unable to continue their support for this Tory-led Coalition. The impact of the cuts being imposed on Stockport will be catastrophic for jobs and services. I hope more LibDem Councillors will seriously question just how much they are prepared to support”.

EMA



The Labour Party also supported this campaign locally by tabling a motion in the recent Stockport MBC meeting and we are pleased to say the motion passed receiving cross party support. We believe that EMA offers the young people of Reddish and Stockport the opportunity to stay on in Further Education. Furthermore, we believe EMA offers the opportunity for young people to consider Higher Education thus opening up the life chances for the young people of Stockport by allowing them to become socially mobile. We will continue the fight for the young people of Stockport!

Can you believe a word this man says?
