When we build social homes, we’re building so much more. These homes are where great stories can begin – stories that can change our history, our culture and our everyday lives. It's time to get councils building social homes again > shelter.org.uk/build www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqpJ...

Great to get stuck in with Onward Homes and help paint the new mural on Chirkdale Street in Kirkdale 🎨 Inspired by community feedback, the wildflower stained-glass design looks absolutely stunning. What a brilliant example of community collaboration in action!🌼✨

The historic Renter’s Rights Act comes into force today! 🏡 Labour is protecting and strengthening rights for millions of renters ✅ Ends Section 21 evictions ✅ Limits rent rises to once a year ✅ Bans bidding wars ✅ Stops discrimination against families, benefit claimants & pet owners

Great to meet with 3rd year Applied Theatre & Community Drama students from @lipaliverpool.bsky.social in Parliament this week. We spoke about the importance of the arts & how they have shaped my journey, right back to my days at Culture Liverpool. Best of luck with your dissertations! 👏

Kim Johnson MP: ‘You cannot renew the Labour Party by removing one fixer while protecting the culture that enabled him’

This is not the party I came into politics to represent. Our movement is rooted in trade unionism, solidarity, democracy and social justice. But these values have been increasingly sidelined

Lovely visit to The Bronte Youth & Community Centre to celebrate their funding from the Morrisons Foundation 💛 Brilliant to see how much the new facilities in Brownlow will benefit local young people. And of course, I had to show the children a thing or two at table tennis!🏓

Violence against transport workers is rising. No more silence. Today is #InternationalWorkersMemorialDay and it must be a turning point. It’s time for #ActionAgainstAssaults. @rmtunion.bsky.social rmtunion.org/4tGxipx

Protest Is Not a Privilege

Next week, MPs will vote on a bill to give police unprecedented powers to ban recurring protests, turning a fundamental freedom into a privilege granted by the state. It must be opposed.

Last week, Liverpool headteachers met with @kimjohnsonmp.bsky.social to discuss the urgent realities they face. Kim is listening to these local heroes so she can take their voices straight to Parliament. It’s time the Government gives schools the funding they need to not just survive — but thrive.

The graphic images of Boyan’s injuries are truly shocking. Racism in all its forms is completely unacceptable. Far-right racist violence has no place in our country – we want it off our streets. Violence & hate will never be tolerated in our communities. www.itv.com/news/granada...

I've joined members from across Labour to call for a reset to protect our party's values and future. For our party to recover, we must restore democracy, return to our founding principles and reject the current top-down approach. Read our statement: resetlabour.co.uk

Great to meet with headteachers from across Merseyside to talk about the reality of school budgets. Staffing pressures, rising pastoral needs, SEND costs are just some of the issues hitting classrooms hard. Our schools cannot keep absorbing these pressures alone. #StopSchoolCuts

Stop School Cuts@schoolcuts.bsky.social · 5mo ago

📍Liverpool. A room full of headteachers telling it as it is. Budgets shrinking, expectations climbing. Barely enough to keep things running. What stood out? Solidarity and energy to keep demanding better for our students. Thanks to the MPs who joined us: @kimjohnsonmp.bsky.social and Ian Byrne 🙌

Tomorrow, UKIP are set to march in Liverpool. There is no place in our city for their scapegoating. Love is greater than hate. Unity is stronger than division and racism. Hope is more powerful than fear. We are Liverpool – a city of hope, not hate. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Tonight, I voted to defend our jury system. Jury trials are a fundamental right and undermining them threatens the foundations of our democracy. #JusticeNeedsJuries

The Government admits there’s a risk of increased racial bias – yet plans to review the impact on ethnic minorities after the reforms take effect. Reckless. Irresponsible. Dangerous. Justice needs juries. labourlist.org/2026/03/lamm...

Everyone deserves a fair trial, free from discrimination. Juries remain one of the most important mechanisms we have to protect that right.

Great to speak at the @rmtunion.bsky.social Women’s Conference in Liverpool. The #ActionAgainstAssaults campaign is vital - no worker should be treated as second-class and no woman should choose between safety and livelihood. Proud that women’s rights are at the heart of our agenda.
