Labour Deputy Leader Lucy Powell:
“Congratulations to Zohran Mamdani on such a clear win in New York. His victory shows that boldness and a story of economic change in the interests of the many not the few, defeats the politics of division and despair.”
Most Labourites have kept quiet publicly on the win. Despite the fact the party will probably dispatch 30 staff to “learn from the success of the Mamdani campaign” before producing a few lookalike social media adverts…
His policies:
- State-run grocery shops.
- Redirect police funding to social services.
- Raise taxes sharply on high earners and companies.
- Impose a rent freeze on regulated apartments.
- Pay for all bus fares.
- Mandate a $30 minimum wage.
- Free childcare.
- Spend heavily on green housing projects.
- Limit cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
Get Powell in those Budget meetings, pronto!
