Concerns about cost of living raised in Northside

We’re out talking to voters on the doorstep across west Cumbria every week.

This week I joined Cllr Jimmy Grisdale for a street surgery in Northside, where we talked to dozens of local residents about local and national concerns.

The main issue that came up time and time again was the Tory cost of living crisis. People here are really struggling to pay the bills and put food on the table.

We need short term help, like a proper windfall tax on energy companies to bring bills down further, but we also need a long term plan, like properly insulating tens of thousands of homes across west Cumbria to save money in the longer term.

As your Labour MP this is what I would fight to deliver.
