Labour starts local election campaign on Monday
Families' living costs will be a central theme for Labour's new local government election campaign, with the party claiming its focus is on "pounds in people's pockets". Keir Starmer will officially launch this effort on Monday at a rally in the West Midlands. However, the party expects significant losses, with polls showing Labour lagging behind Plaid Cymru in Wales.
