Radicalism and realism should be at heart of Labour in 2021 local and mayoral elections, rally hears

LOCAL and mayoral elections next year were hailed today as a chance for Labour to gain voters’ trust and put forward radical agendas.

Labour chairwoman and deputy leader Angela Rayner hosted The Road to May 2021 rally of Labour leaders in devolved nations, mayors, local government representatives and candidates.
