26,000 Bexley families to receive Warm Homes Discount Funds – up 16,000 Thanks to the Labour Government - Statement by Bexley Labour Group bexleylabour.org.uk/26000-bexley...

Labour is massively expanding Free School Meals to half a million more children - including thousands here in Bexley- putting money back in parents’ pockets. That’s the Labour difference.
