In a series of coordinated efforts across different regions, Labour and city officials are implementing significant measures to address homelessness, improve educational outcomes, and enhance living standards. Liverpool's Labour party has pledged to make the city a zero-homelessness city, investing in services and leveraging council tax on vacant properties, all while maintaining a balanced budget despite financial pressures. London's Mayor has highlighted actions taken to alleviate financial pressures on residents, including providing 17 million free school meals, freezing Transport for London (TfL) fares, and setting records in council home construction. Additionally, Labour plans to introduce free breakfast clubs in every primary school, aiming to improve family-school relationships, attendance, and children's readiness to learn. These initiatives come as responses to the cost of living crisis, with additional support like skills training and financial advice being made available to those in need.
Free breakfast clubs change the relationship between families & schools, improve attendance & enable children to get the most out of the school day Great to see these results in London. Labour will deliver free breakfast clubs in every primary school! https://t.co/rIRwzO0Tgs
I was happy to join @ToddSmithPC and Mayor @NeilREllis to present @BellevilleON with $1.24 million from the Building Faster Fund after the city beat its housing targets. Weโre proud to reward that success with this flexible funding to help build homes and grow their community. https://t.co/svwl1MUC92

.@MayorofLondon speaking at #PQT on extending the free school meals scheme: "In the first term we provided 17 million free school meals. We saved families money but we also spoke to teachers, kids were more attentive, more productive and all round it's been a huge success."
