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.

The elections were to be held earlier this year but they were postponed for 12 months because of the coronavirus pandemic.
