Lord BassamWhy Green Party Budget is Very Wrong for Our City

Former leader of Brighton & Hove council and Labour Peer, Lord Bassam writes that the Green Party budget is bad for the city.

"My worry is that the City will decline in the face of less Government money, and its decline will be greater if it doesn't know where it is going. Currently the council lacks both vision and strategy and a sense of purpose." Read more ...

The Peoples Rail Campaign

Brighton and Hove Commuters hit by steep fare rises

Labour has called on the Government to ban train operating companies from raising rail fares above strict limits. Labour would protect commuters from rocketing rail fares.

Brighton and Hove Labour support the Cooperative Party campaign for the People's Railway. This would give the British public real power over its rail network. Learn more about the campaign.

Drop The Bill 

Put the NHS first -Drop the Bill

The Government is planning the biggest re-organisation of the NHS since it began in 1948. It is unnecessary, unwanted, wasteful and damaging – and threatens to end the NHS as we know it. Only last year, the Government promised people they wouldn’t do it. Many thousands of people have already called on the Government to stop. But they are ploughing on, ignoring public and professional opinion, out of touch with Britain. We need to make the Government listen before it's too late. Sign the Drop the Bill petition
