Andy and I have worked together to lift up all of Greater Manchester. As Mayor, I’ll build on that legacy to bring our ten boroughs together and make sure every community shares in our success.

Retail workers are at the 💜 of our communities. Join me in saying a huge thank you to hardworking retail staff this National Retail Workers’ Day for the vital role they play in our high streets and communities. #NRWD26

Kemi lost her head at PMQs - and afterwards too. It's not the first time. She's compared me to a Gestapo officer. I wonder what it is about a working class woman driving record investment in state schools by ending private schools' tax breaks that the Tories hate so much.

Bridget Phillipson MP@bphillipsonmp.bsky.social · 4mo ago

The Gestapo marched hundreds of thousands of innocent people to their deaths. I've ended private schools' tax breaks to invest in state schools. No responsible leader makes vile comparisons like this. Kemi Badenoch is not fit to be Prime Minister.

Retail staff are at the heart of our communities, yet too often face abuse, threats and assault. It’s not acceptable, and action is being taken. Working with @usdawunion.bsky.social, this Government is delivering for retail workers and making high streets safer. More below 👇

As a dad and MP, I worry about the impact of social media on our children. Over 250 people in #WorsleyAndEccles have contacted me on this. I’ve written to the Secretary of State to push for action - promoting safety while preserving access to positive, interest-based spaces.👇

Welcome to #WheelersWeekly! There’s been a lot happening in #WorsleyAndEccles and across the country this week, including my BBC Breakfast debut. From local issues to wider national announcements, here’s a look at what’s been going on this week. 👇

Today I joined @samaritans.bsky.social for #BrewMonday. It was a reminder of how much of a difference a simple cuppa, a catch-up, or just talking about how we’re feeling can make. If you or someone you know needs support, Samaritans are available on 116 123 or jo@samaritans.org

🚨𝗡𝗘𝗪! Comment piece from @mwheelermp.bsky.social on why he's launching our campaign to make sure the new right to a Guaranteed Hours Contract is implemented properly. "Now that the Employment Rights Act has passed, there’s a risk people think ‘job done’." labourunions.org.uk/comment-the-...

Everyone should have the right to a contract that reflects the hours they actually work. Labour’s Employment Rights Act could do just that – if we keep pushing to make sure the government gets this right. Add your name to keep the pressure on: labourunions.org.uk/guaranteedho...

Real wins for workers are a step closer as the Gov confirms new rights start in April: 🚼 Right to paternity leave from Day One 1️⃣ Right to unpaid parental leave from the first day in a new job But this is just the start, add your name to back the New Deal in full labourunions.org.uk/deliverinfull/

Local volunteers like Graham Walker are the heart of our community, keeping the spirit of Remembrance alive. I was very pleased to present him with a Letter of Appreciation recognising his dedication to veterans and the wider Armed Forces from the Secretary of State for Defence.

The new right to a guaranteed hours contract in the Employment Rights Act could be transformational, finally ending exploitative short and zero-hour contracts. But we must make sure we get the detail right and ensure all workers benefit.

Fabian Society@thefabians.bsky.social · 9mo ago

“The employment rights bill and the New Deal for Working People are some of the Labour government’s most popular policies” Labour’s plan to offer guaranteed hours contracts to all workers will be transformational - only if we get it right. ✍️ @mwheelermp.bsky.social fabians.org.uk/zero-toleran...

As Christmas Day approaches, I want to wish everyone in #WorsleyAndEccles a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year! 🎄 It's been particularly special visiting so many schools & groups in the run up to Christmas, we really do have a wonderful community here in Worsley & Eccles!

〰️ Men's health is so important, that's why I'm supporting November UK. It was great to hear so many colleagues speak out this week about these issues and their personal experiences, and also to see our Government launch the first Men's Health Strategy. movember.com/m/MWheeler85...

Thank you to the 1,797 people who co-signed my letter calling for the ‘Bridgewater West’ site to be removed from the Wigan Local Plan. The letter has now been sent to all 75 Wigan Councillors. Together, our message is loud and clear: this land must stay Green Belt.

It was a privilege to lay a wreath at the memorial in Swinton today We paused today to honour the courage and sacrifice of all who served and gave their lives in the pursuit of peace. We will remember them.

Welcome to #WheelersWeekly! There’s been a lot going on in #WorsleyAndEccles and across the country, so grab a drink, get comfy, and let’s catch up on the latest news locally and nationally. 👇

I joined local councillors and members of our community in Irlam this morning and Astley this afternoon to honour and remember those from #WorsleyAndEccles, across the UK and the Commonwealth who served and sacrificed. A moving reminder of the courage and dedication of so many.

Remembering the 97 lives lost at Hillsborough in 1989 and the families who never gave up on justice. The Hillsborough Law had its second reading yesterday, introducing accountability, a duty of candour, and support for families. I am proud to back this Bill.
