Thank you to all our supporters

As we're sure you know by now, we failed to regain a foothold in Moss Bank yesterday. But please be aware that your local Labour team will not give in to despondency or defeatism, and that our good work in the community carries on, more effective and with greater determination than before.

So thank you for your support and your votes. And as Gordon Brown has said, have confidence in our principles. Have confidence that these principles can be advanced in Labour policies for our time. Have confidence that Labour values are the values of the British people.

Once again, thank you for your support over the last 12 months, and we hope we are deserving of your support over the next 12 months.

The Moss Bank Labour Team.
