Good to be out in New Ferry this morning on the community litterpick

Little Sutton Summer Fair on today at the community Centre til 5pm - lots of stalls and good causes to support

Nice to be out talking to voters in Wolverham this morning

What a fantastic result. After such difficult results in May, it’s great to win again and show how, and that we can, beat Reform in communities like Makerfield.

Congratulations to our very own Peter Wheeler for well deserved recognition for his outstanding contribution over many decades !

Spotted this evening - let’s hope we see more of the EP flag at the World Cup

Good to be out in Little Sutton this morning helping out on the community litterpick

Absolutely spot on from @andyburnham.bsky.social. None of us want to see the politics of division being exported from the US. We can’t carry on down this path. We must stop the poison dripping into our society. Our country is better than that. We need our govt to reflect that. #BBCQT

I’m delighted to announce that Kevin Bradburne MBE has been appointed Chair of the Pride in Place Neighbourhood Board. As Director of Operations at the Youth Federation, based at Rossmore Business Village, Kevin has extensive experience supporting children and young people across our community.

Fantastic to be at the launch today of the Ellesmere Port football memories book by the local history society - so many great players to have come from the town over the years including European Cup Winner Ian Bowyer who was born in Little Sutton and came along today

Come down to the Royal British Legion, Little Sutton today for their family fun day- stalls til 5, bar til midnight

Good to be out talking to people in Great Sutton this morning with local councillors

Great first day campaigning out in Makefield today with members coming out for the first time and lots of support on the doors

Great first day campaigning out in Makefield today with members coming out for the first time and lots of support on the doors

Speaking to Andrew Marr on LBC last night I set out some of the reasons why I hope that Andy Burnham is the Labour Party candidate in Makerfield

Fantastic to see @CheshireNix through to the play off final tonight at the sports village- off to London next!

A really strong showing from Wirral Labour Councillors & members this morning as we hit the doors in New Ferry

Buy British 🇬🇧 Great to get out in one of Royal Mail’s new electric vans at their Ellesmere Port Delivery Office built just down the road at the Stellantis factory. Backing British manufacturing and a cleaner, greener future. I’ve urged Government, the NHS, councils and others to buy British.

Great to be out with Cllr Lisa Denson and volunteers today on the Jackswood estate for a community litter pick

Today,on the anniversary of Hillsborough, I remember the 97 & stand with their loved ones, who have fought so long for truth and justice. We must ensure no family ever faces the same pain, denial and delay again. That’s why we need the Hillsborough Law-strong, uncompromised and without further delay

My question earlier to the Prime Minister about what can be done to end the Trump cost of living crisis

A brilliant turnout yesterday at Westminster Community Centre for Ellesmere Port Pride in Place. Great to hear so many ideas on how £20 million of funding could make a real difference in our community. Thanks to everyone who came,if you missed it, you can still get involved cwac.co/P6MZM

Such an important development and only the beginning of much needed improvements to workers rights

Yesterday on the Business Select Committee we questioned Royal Mail's owner Daniel Kretinsky about the mountain of evidence there is that the Company prioritises parcels over letter deliveries- does he know what is going on in Royal Mail?

Nice to pop in to St Paul’s, Little Sutton for the farmers market and fundraising for the church- on til 2pm today

Help shape the future of Ellesmere Port & Rossmore! We’re looking for an Independent Chair to lead the Pride in Place Board, helping oversee £20 million of investment- www.cheshirewestandchester.gov.uk/residents/regeneration-of-west-cheshire/ellesmere-port-regeneration/pride-in-ellesmere-port

Anyone who was sacked from their job during the application process should not expect compensation and Peter Mandelson should be no different- he should now give that money to charity!

🌟 Pride in Place Update: Shaping the Future of Ellesmere Port We’ve secured £20 million regeneration funding 💷 for Ellesmere Port — now we’re getting into the detail 📋. Pride in Place is about turning investment into action 🚀 and ensuring our community leads the way 🗣️🏘️.

Almost everyone who has a child with Special Educational Needs would agree the system is broken. The Govt yesterday announced a white paper with proposals on how to fix it- I encourage people to engage with the consultation- details here- www.gov.uk/government/p...

My column in today’s Sunday Mirror - a call to Mancs (and others!) 👇🏻 @politics.mirror.co.uk Please buy a copy of the paper too.

We are holding a coffee morning in New Ferry today- at the community centre in Windsor Close til 12-30- pop in and say hello!

Great to speak to young @The_TUC members today about all the fantastic measures in the Employment Rights Act that will massively improve workers protections

Good to speak to @unisontheunion activists this morning about all the fantastic measures in the Employment Rights Act that will make such a positive difference to their members and millions more people- showing the good things a Labour Government can do!

I spoke to Times Radio earlier about my reaction to the Peter Mandelson revelations- the police should be investigating and his title of "Lord" should be removed.

A very entertaining game at Vauxhall Motors FC today with them beating Clitheroe FC 4-2. Next home game Sat 14th Feb v Congleton KO 3pm.

The overriding consideration for the party should be who is best placed to win & represent the people of Gorton & Denton-no stitch ups, no 2nd guessing what might happen down the line. We need our best players on the pitch & the PM needs the best serving in his Government.

I welcome the news that the Government will look at a ban for under 16s on social media. However, as I said yesterday in the fireworks debate, I cannot reconcile the Govts refusal to do anything on decibel levels for fear of being seen as “nanny state” with the moves on mobiles.

Well said @AngelaRayner - time is well past for us to deliver on this promise to leaseholders- Is this Labour party for rich investors or hard-working leaseholders?Guardianhttps://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jan/20/labour-party-rich-investors-hard-working-leaseholders

Really impressed hearing from both Blades Down and Let’s Be Blunt tonight with their own experiences and insights into how we reduce knife crime

If opponents of the BBC were trying to design a way to undermine the licence fee then it might look like this- the question is why are the BBC accelerating their own demise ? www.theguardian.com/media/2026/j...

Last week I had the opportunity to question Fujitsu about their role in the Post Office scandal and their pledge not to bid for new government contracts in light of their role in it- its become apparent that their promise not to do so isnt as clear cut as it would first appear..

"Very shortly" says @Keir_Starmer on new leasehold laws coming forward- he's going to get asked this at PMQs every week until it happens!

Another worrying report about the way those classed as self employed are treated and why we need proper protections in place- getting a pay cut for doing a job well is no way to treat someone www.londoncentric.media/p/evri-drive...

Out and about in Ellesmere Port this morning talking to residents with local councillor Lisa Denson
