"The Tories' total failure to build an economy that actually works in the interests of working people has left local people worse off than they were more than a decade ago."

Crewe and Nantwich Labour says a crucial component of getting wages up and improving living standards is growing the economy.

The political party believes this has stalled under the Conservatives.

Cllr Naismith added: "This government is out of touch and out of ideas.

"All they are offering families in Crewe and Nantwich is more of the same failed approach - low growth, low wages, high tax and failing public services.

"But, Labour has a plan - Labour will stabilise our economy, and we will get it growing with our Green Prosperity Plan and an active partnership with British businesses.

"That means new jobs and fresh opportunities for places like Crewe and Nantwich."

Crewe Nub News contacted Conservative MP, Dr Kieran Mullan, for comment.

He told Nub News: "As always I am focused on what I can deliver locally.

"I helped setup the local Kickstart scheme, held a virtual jobs fair as we came out of COVID and helped Cheshire College secure £5 million to become a new institute of technology to bring in new skills training.
