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.

Earlier this week, several of the team from Boaz travelled to Parliament to meet with MPs and share our recent report (From surviving to thriving: preventing homelessness in Greater Manchester among people recently granted refugee status). 🧵1/4

Congratulations to Lucy Powell on becoming deputy leader of the Labour Party 🎉 I’m proud to have worked with Lucy on the Modernisation committee and know she will steer our party in the right direction, and be a strong uniting voice for our Labour movement.

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!

Earlier this week, I joined @womens_aid and campaigner Claire Throssell as the government announced it will repeal the presumption of contact from The Children’s Act.

Polls close at 12pm today. Give me a strong mandate, to be your strong voice making the change our Party needs. Search for [email protected] in your inbox if you can’t find your vote.

Wishing everyone in Bolton and around the world a very Happy Diwali and Bandi Chhor Divas 🪔✨ Sending love and light to all 🙏

I never miss the chance to get out knocking on doors! Thanks to everyone in Bromley Cross who spoke to me 🙌🏼

I was proud to commend the Prime Minister on his strong stance in his speech to Labour Conference a couple of weeks ago and highlight why a particular party opposite does not deserve the chance to govern at Prime Minister’s Questions today 👇🏼

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.

Enjoyed a rare pie lunch at the Kitchen & bar at The Octagon Theatre Bolton ❤️ I love being back at home in the constituency and enjoying our amazing food! If you’ve not visited the Octagon’s Kitchen and Bar yet, definitely check it out.

Labour's New Deal for Working People will reform our parental leave system, for better maternity and paternity leave. That's why @kirithentwistle.bsky.social is so excited to see it delivered in full.

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.

Happy Rosh Hashanah to all those celebrating in Bolton North East and across the world today. Shana Tova!

Today marks an important historical moment as our government formally recognises the State of Palestine 🇵🇸 We held an event in Parliament alongside Ambassador Dr. Husam Zomlot حسام زملط to commemorate this occasion.

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’s vital that victims & the public see justice being done. I spoke to @ecourea.bsky.social about this Government’s commitment to restore confidence in our criminal justice system, the Unduly Lenient Sentence scheme & Reform’s weakness on law & order ⬇️ www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Good luck to everyone getting their GCSE results today!

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.

Great session out on the doors for #NationalCampaignWeekend 🌹

I was so proud and honoured to have @gm4women2028.bsky.social here in Bolton yesterday, and to meet so many inspiring women. It was a real celebration of Boltonian Women and important to step back and discuss how far we have come as women, but how much progress is yet to be made.

Nice to meet @kirithentwistle.bsky.social MO for Bolton NW on @boltonfm.com our excellent community radio station. Kirith is doing a great job.

It’s one year since I was given the honour and the privilege to represent Bolton North East in Parliament. I’ll never stop working hard to be your voice in Westminster, for as long as you continue to give me this honour 🙏

Yesterday we marked 97 years since women won the vote on equal terms with men with a commemorative photocall of women MPs—organised by Centenary Action💜🤍💚 Each MP received a personalised sash by Remake Newport, marking their place in the history of #WomenInParliament.

My statement on last night's vote on the Universal Credit and PIP Bill, and the important changes before the vote took place.

Today the Government has announced a review of the parental leave system. See our recommendations on how to fix the broken system ⬇️

Today, I’ve added my name along with over 100 other Labour MPs to the Reasoned Amendment opposing the Universal Credit and PIP Bill 👇🏼

Today marks the 77th anniversary since the arrival of HMT Empire Windrush. We must never forget the legacy of Windrush generations, and their ongoing contributions.

We urgently need suicide driven by abuse to be recognised as murder in criminal sentencing. With our support, @kirithentwistle.bsky.social MP has tabled an amendment under the Crime and Policing Bill and raised it in Parliament today. 1/4 Video credits: @houseofcommons.parliament.uk

Reports of strikes in the Middle East are truly alarming. I echo the words of the Prime Minister in calling for all parties to step back and try to reduce tensions in a region that has suffered for too long.

Really proud to have been part of yet another great piece of work. Our report on shared parental leave is out today, read it here: publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm5901/cm...

Thanks to everyone who came to my advice surgery in Astley Bridge this morning! From personal matters to global issues we covered a very varied range of subjects today. If there's anything you need help with you can always contact me at [email protected]

Only the best for #NationalFishandChipDay 🐟 🍟 Have been coming to The Village Chippy on Darwen Rd since I first moved up to Bolton in 2017, and they’re by far the best chippy in town!

Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating today ✨🌙 Wishing you all a peaceful and happy time with loved ones. I know many will also be thinking of those around the world who are unable to celebrate as they deserve this year, and keeping them in our prayers 🙏

Really pleased to have delivered this report exploring an important sector experiencing misogyny

Bolton MPs’ joint statement on the University of Greater Manchester (Bolton) 👇🏼

The announcement of a full and immediate ceasefire agreement between India and Pakistan is a welcome development. We must urge all involved to reach a peaceful diplomatic solution.

Thank you to Bolton Lads and Girls Club for helping me deliver a fantastic workshop this afternoon. I wanted to make sure the voice of young people in Bolton was heard in the government’s #DeliverYou consultation on the National Youth Strategy. Thanks to everyone for their great work today!

Lovely to be out on the doors in sunny Breightmet this morning ☀️

It was lovely to join our local cadets and Armed Forces at Bolton Parish Church to mark #VEDay80 Wonderful to see the beacon being lit once again, and to hear the message that we must not only remember our past, but remain hopeful for the future.

Warm congratulations to Pope Leo XIV, the first American pontiff and the 267th Bishop of Rome. Sending best wishes to the Catholic community here in Bolton and around the world. www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news...

80 years ago today, the freedoms we enjoy were secured by our remarkable Second World War generation. The sacrifices of those who fought for our peace must never be forgotten.

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.

The House is now sitting, starting with questions to Women and Equalities ministers. Watch today's proceedings live ⬇️ parliamentlive.tv/event/index/...

We're on our way to parliament to host a drop-in with @laurakyrkesmith.bsky.social & @kirithentwistle.bsky.social. MPs will meet women with lived exp and clinicians to learn about #PerinatalMentalHealth and the needs of women, birthing people, babies and families... and hopefully show their support.

This afternoon’s session will be incredibly insightful. If you’ve watched Adolescence, you might want to tune in 👇🏼

Well done to everyone running the London Marathon today 🏃‍♀️ 🥇 You’re all superstars in my eyes. All the training, hard work and dedication that’s gone into today is incredible, and the charities and causes you’re championing and raising awareness of will benefit greatly. I’m cheering you all on 🙌🏼

Wishing everyone a very happy St. George’s Day 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Today, on Yom HaShoah, we remember the 6 million Jews murdered during the Holocaust and mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Bergen-Belsen. We honour their memory and reaffirm our commitment to eradicating antisemitism in all its forms. Never again.

This week, we’ll make free breakfast clubs available for hundreds of thousands of children and begin to put up to £450 a year back into their parents’ pockets. That’s the difference a Labour government makes. That’s our Plan for Change in action. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...
