Congratulations to Bev Craig on being elected Mayor of Greater Manchester. I look forward to working together for Salford and communities across our city-region. 🌹

Salford’s Local Plan will shape our city through to 2043, from housing and jobs to green spaces and neighbourhood development. The final consultation is now open. Please have your say by Friday 25 September 👇 www.salford.gov.uk/slp-part2-pu...

Disabled people’s voices must be at the heart of decisions about PIP. @disrightsuk.bsky.social’s survey aims to help inform the Timms Review and build an independent evidence base rooted in lived experience. Deadline is Sunday 2 August. Please take part & share www.disabilityrightsuk.org/pip-survey

I’ve co-signed this motion calling for a UK “Right to Be Forgotten” so cancer survivors are no longer penalised by travel insurers for a past diagnosis. If NHS clinicians say someone is fit to travel, insurers should not price them out of making precious memories.

I’m proud to be a sponsor of this cross-party motion calling on the Government to retain the five-year pathway to Indefinite Leave to Remain for existing Skilled Worker visa holders. 1/2

I’ve co-signed this letter calling for tougher action to protect housing association residents. Too many tenants and leaseholders face endless complaints, poor repairs, opaque service charges and little accountability. 1/2

I’ve co-signed this cross-party letter calling on the PM to establish a national commission on House of Lords reform. Half our legislature should not be unelected. It’s time for a representative, accountable second chamber rooted in our nations and regions.

The BBC is woven into Salford’s economy and identity, from MediaCity to local radio and thousands of skilled jobs. Cuts threaten that success, alongside trusted journalism and universal public service broadcasting. Charter renewal must strengthen the BBC, not shrink it.

Public interest journalism is under attack. We must fight for the BBC

Cuts are damaging vital BBC journalism at a time when it is needed most.

Universal public services are funded collectively because the risks they protect us from are shared by everyone. The NHS has always embodied that principle. Social care should too. labouroutlook.org/2026/07/28/a...

Great to be out and about in Blackfriars and Trinity this evening with Salford Labour councillors and activists. Lots of support on the doorstep for Bev Craig for Greater Manchester Mayor, and plenty of casework picked up too. Thanks to everyone who stopped to speak with us! 🌹

Solidarity with @unison.org.uk North West members working in theatres across the Northern Care Alliance who are taking strike action. These dedicated NHS staff should not be paid less for stepping up to cover shortages. 1/2

I was very sorry to hear of the passing of former MP Terry Lewis. He was a Salford legend, a dedicated constituency MP and a proper Labour representative who always stood up for what he believed was right. My thoughts are with his family and friends. www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater...

Congratulations to Andy Burnham on becoming Leader of the Labour Party. It is good to see a proud northern voice at the heart of Downing Street, and a leader who said they will be unashamedly, authentically Labour. I wish him every success.

Pleasure to attend @cancerresearchuk.org’s Parliament Day 2026 and support the launch of #UnlockCancerBreakthroughs. Cancer research saves lives, but progress is still being held back. We need faster clinical trials, global research talent and long-term investment to unlock new treatments.

Corridor care should shame us all. Patients left on trolleys. Families waiting in fear. Staff stretched beyond breaking point. I told Parliament: We must restore dignity, safety and care to our NHS. 📺Watch👇 www.facebook.com/reel/1360607...

Today we celebrate 78 years of our NHS, Labour's greatest achievement and one of Britain's proudest institutions. I'll always fight to protect it, properly fund it and keep it in public hands. 💙 1/2
