Very proud of my friend Jess for taking this action 🤍

Wishing all Muslims here in Bolton, and around the world, a happy and peaceful Eid Al-Adha. Eid Mubarak 🌙

I don’t like to comment on Westminster dramas. I want our focus to be on delivering change for our constituents and our country. However, lots of Bolton residents have been asking about my thoughts on the country’s leadership this week.

The election results are bitterly disappointing, and voters have sent us an important message which we have to acknowledge. We have lost some fantastic, experienced councillors and I want to thank them for their dedication to our town and communities over many years.

What new laws have been passed since the election in a nutshell 👇

Out in Halliwell with Councillor Safwaan Patel who is up for re-election this Thursday. Our Labour councillors are working hard delivering for their communities. Don’t be the reason that ends. Vote Labour this Thursday 7 May 🌹

As someone whose route into politics started following an employment dispute, I’m always proud to stand with workers fighting for fair pay, secure jobs and dignity at work. #InternationalWorkersDay

Everyone, no matter their background, needs a safe and stable home to build a healthy life. With the Renters’ Rights Act, we’ve seen what is possible when renters and housing campaigners come together and fight for change 👇 england.shelter.org.uk/housing_advi...

Great to be out on the doors for Cllr Nick Peel and back doing visits in and around Bolton North East ahead of local elections on 7 May! 🌹

Every week I come back to the constituency office, my lovely constituents remind me why I have to leave my 3yo son behind every week, work all kinds of hours, and why I absolutely love my job. These tokens of gratitude help keep us going, and I’m always blown away by your generosity.

Wishing fellow Sikhs around the world a very happy Vaisakhi 🧡 A time to celebrate bravery, courage and community 🙏

Happy Easter to all those celebrating 💛✝️

Wishing a joyful and meaningful Passover to all of my constituents who are celebrating 🩵 Chag Sameach!

It’s been great being back out on the doors with the Labour team for Councillor Nick Peel in Tonge with The Haulgh 🌹 Local elections are just around the corner! Make sure you’re registered to vote by 20th April! 🗳️

I’m passionate about housing and know from my time as an MP so far just how much of a difference it will make if we can get this right. Read more below 👇🏼

Rachel Reeves has lashed out at Donald Trump for his decision to launch a war in the Middle East with no clear exit plan.

Eid Mubarak to all those who celebrated last night, and to those celebrating today! 🌙 Bolton is a diverse town and I am proud to champion that diversity. I will never late hate and division win. with warm wishes, Kirith ✨

Happy International Women’s Day! The theme this year is ‘Give to Gain’ and whilst we’ve made some progress since women first got the right to vote, we have a long way to go and are seeing our rights eroded elsewhere. Here’s a reminder of what we’ve been through to get this far:

We will remember.

Today, on Holocaust Memorial Day, we honour those who were murdered during the Holocaust and pay tribute to the vital work of Holocaust survivors who educate young people today. We stand against hate, and strive to deliver a better future.

This is welcome news.

Wishing all those in the Punjabi community in Bolton and across the world a very happy Lohri today 🔥 ✨ A reminder to celebrate the triumph of light over darkness and new beginnings 🎉

It’s International Day of Persons with Disabilities! And this month is also Disability History Month. We can all play a role to build a more inclusive, accessible society and I’m committed to always doing my part. Thanks to Scope for hosting a great event in Parliament today.

A huge win and a great announcement from the Government today!

This weekend, I joined Ukrainians in Bolton to mark the anniversary of the tragic Holodomor genocide. The event was held at our local Ukrainian Cultural Centre, which provides a home and a community for so many. Today and always, I stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇦 #slavaukraini #holodomor

Today, we pause to remember all those who have died in service of our country, and express our gratitude to the brave personnel who continue to serve. We will never forget the sacrifice and service of those who defended our country and fought for our freedom. #ArmisticeDay

Earlier today, the Labour government launched the transformational Veterans strategy: ✅£27m released for a new veteran-wide support service offering guidance and support. ✅New funding for a dedicated wraparound homelessness service. ✅Investing In world-class veterans NHS support.

Incredible to see the community come together this morning to mark Remembrance Sunday. A fantastic turnout from Little Lever. #LestWeForget

Today, we honour all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Now and always, we will remember them.

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.
