Brighton and Hove Labour have forced the Daily Mail to withdraw their misleading article putting down our city.
The full apology is below as well as a statement from Deputy Leader Cllr Jacob Taylor 👇🏽
One of the best things about going across the country is meeting first time voters like Bella.
Great to be in Brighton today with our candidate,
@MrTomGray
.
On Thursday 4 July, vote for change. Vote Labour.
We have been shocked and deeply disappointed at the scale of transphobia directed at Eddie on social media during the selection process.
We oppose dehumanising hatred in all of its forms.
(1/2)
To the people of Brighton: your support has been my strength. Despite this setback, my love and commitment to you and our shared ideals remain steadfast.
My post-selection statement:

One year ago Brighton and Hove put its faith in Labour, giving our city the first majority in 20 years 🌹
We’ve never taken that for granted and worked tirelessly to create change in our beloved city.
The Children, Families and Schools Committee has today passed a proposal to make sure children on free school meals have a wider choice of the school they go to
While this will now go to consultation, this is a direct way to tackle inequality in our city for the long term 🙌🏼
🚨 ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨
"Restoring basic services not flushing money away on vanity projects!"
At Budget Council
@bhlabour

🌿Green Party = £3m overspend last year, council finances near bankruptcy
🌹Labour council = came in under budget. With new fairness fund and new financed plan on graffiti and potholes
🧱 Labour is rebuilding our city
Our proposal to give kids on free school meals a greater choice in the school they go to will be voted on tomorrow.
The

🚨 ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨
After successfully forcing a Green U-turn on plans to slash the budget for public toilets, Labour’s plans to support tourism would also see the council review proposed cuts to Visit Brighton, the Volks Railway and Lifeguard Services.
Delighted to work with
@BHGreens
to get this cross party motion on a car free city centre passed! ✊🤝 Well done
@AmyHeley
for proposing and
@Gary4Hove
for seconding. Our
#climateassembly

Brighton & Hove’s Labour Council is proposing to move to a new system of democratic governance.
The proposals would see the council move from a Committee system to a Cabinet system.
Read more about the proposals here 👇
Labour Councillors are stunned it took this long to reach a deal, when this should have been resolved long before strike action even took place.

We’re doing everything we can to remove the barriers for children going to school.

Labour turned a critical and effective eye over the entire active transport plan. We are honest enough to understand when something is not working and is not used. To say all cycle lanes are good is as pointless as saying all cycle lanes are bad - some work, some do not.
🚨 ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨
Last year
@bhlabour
got library charges for children abolished, removing barriers to access to books & reading at an early age for disadvantaged kids. The Greens have immediately tried to re-introduce them.
@bhlabour
won’t let them.
The government has cancelled plans for the mass closure of ticket offices!
Another poorly thought out plan by this government that our Labour activists and councillors have successfully campaigned against 👏🏽🙌🏼
Brighton and Hove Labour’s Alternative Christmas message.
On this day back in 1910, Mary Clarke sadly passed away. Our Cllr Mitchie Alexander wrote this wonderful poem dedicated to Mary.
It was an honour to present freedom of the city to Mary’s family this month.

As she said, these are Tory cuts not Labour cuts!
We’re doing everything we can in our power to make sure we have the housing people need in our city.
That starts with finally tackling the empty second homes

We're really pleased to have secured funding to keep Breeze to the Downs going for another year.
To keep these bus services running long term, we need more people to use them.
So please enjoy a trip to the Downs & help make these buses viable & sustainable 🚌🌄
@TrevMu10
Buses will continue to breeze up to the Downs in 2024 after agreeing new funding 🚌
We've been given the green light to use money from our Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) to fund the Breeze up to the Downs 77 and 79 services for the year ahead.
