Labour candidate supports Afghan and Syrian refugees in Runcorn

news.yahoo.com —

Labour candidate Karen Shore is contesting the Runcorn by-election against Reform UK. She has expressed support for Afghan and Syrian refugees, highlighting the council's efforts to provide housing and integration assistance during her time as deputy leader. The by-election was prompted by the resignation of Mike Amesbury, who was convicted of assault. Recent polls indicate a close race, with Reform UK projected to win 36% of the vote compared to Labour's 33%. Shore has been a council member since 2015 and has previously supported initiatives promoting LGBTQ+ rights. She has faced controversy for her comments on government strategies during the Covid pandemic and her stance against The Sun newspaper.
