Good things that Labour government has done 'not noticed' by the public, says party's new Lancashire leader Mark Clifford

The new Labour group leader on Lancashire County Council says the party needs to rethink how it gets its message across to residents after it was decimated at the local elections.

Mark Clifford has taken the helm of what is now a rump of just five red-rosetted members of the authority.

The party has spent the past eight years as the official opposition to what was a Tory-controlled County Hall during that period - until Reform UK swept to power at last week's poll.

Labour - previously a 32-strong group after the 2021 elections - is now only the joint second-largest opposition party on the county council, together with the Liberal Democrats.
