I managed 2.56 miles in 5mins for the annual IPT poppy ride in association with the Royal British Legion - in boots and a dress I might add! As a former employee of RBL, I’m incredibly passionate about supporting them and the work they do for our Armed Forces.

I held my first "Ask Kirith" event this afternoon, chatting to local residents about anything they wanted to. Community issues were top of the agenda today and how we can make Halliwell safer and better for everyone. Thanks to those who came along!

Today’s news of a ceasefire deal is extremely welcome. I know our Prime Minister and UK Ministers have worked tirelessly to allow us to reach this point, and I commend the efforts of our diplomats who have also worked incredibly hard behind the scenes.

The attacks today in Manchester, on the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, are truly devastating. There is no justification for this and my heart goes out to all those affected. We will not let hate, or those who spread it, win.

Tonight I voted to deliver the biggest upgrade to worker’s rights in a generation. Tonight, I voted the Employment Rights Bill through to protect workers and to ensure employees are treated fairly, which is more than can be said for opposition parties.

It was good to check out Whalley's Woodland Walk today! A new contemplative space in Little Lever at Moses Gate Country Park to stop, have a breather and reflect. Green spaces are so important for our mental health, and I’m really pleased to see what the team have been able to deliver.

Sorry I couldn’t be there, but happy to help. It’s so important to recognise the support women need throughout their pregnancies and after baby arrives. Maternal mental health is too often dismissed. It’s time women got the support we need.
