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 👇

It's clear who Reform UK stand for - and it's not workers. They seek to sow division, while committing to throw our hard-won rights on the scrapheap. labourunions.org.uk/stop-reform/

We pride ourselves as a nation of animal lovers - yet in 2024, 22,000+ animals were harmed by regulatory failures in labs. It’s time to end animal testing. 🔗 parliamentnews.co.uk/ending-the-c...

💬 "To genuinely support children and families, we must take a holistic approach, addressing social media, smartphones, and platform design as interconnected, rather than separate, issues". Michael Wheeler MP adds his thoughts to the ongoing debate around social media... 🤳 📱 Read here👇

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 [email protected]

🚨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.

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.

We’re updating what children learn at school so they’re ready for the modern world. That means strong foundations, plus new skills like spotting fake news online and understanding money, and access to arts and sport. Find out more. 👇

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.

Welcome to #WheelersWeekly! This week, we've seen key Government legislation pass become law, I've been continuing my campaign alongside local councillors in #WorsleyAndEccles to protect our Green Belt, and I've shaved off my beard to for Movember! Let’s catch up. 👇

This Movember, I'm growing a mo (the harder part was shaving off my beard!) to raise money and awareness of men's health. Whether it's male suicide, mental health, or cancer, men don't talk anywhere near enough. If you'd like to support: movember.com/m/MWheeler85...

This week, Labour’s game-changing Renters’ Rights Act became law, marking the start of a new era of fairness and security for renters. Don’t listen to the naysayers, this is a massive win for tenants. 🧵👇

"She said the quiet bit out loud". We can debate policy, and have different ideas, but we must call out racism when it's right in front of us. Well said Wes.

Welcome to #WheelersWeekly! This week I’ve been out across #WorsleyAndEccles, speaking with residents, listening to your concerns, and working together to protect our Green Belt in Astley & Boothstown. From local meetings to big national updates, here’s what I’ve been up to. 👇

One of my favourite parts of being an MP is meeting young people across #WorsleyAndEccles, so it was great to welcome students & staff from Eccles College to Parliament yesterday. We talked about transport, jobs and lots more. A big thank you to everyone at for coming to visit!

Welcome to #WheelersWeekly! The first week back in Westminster after recess included time in the House, meetings, and visits to local businesses and community groups in #WorsleyAndEccles. Grab a drink, get comfy, and let’s catch up on my week. 👇

Today we’re celebrating #NationalAlbumDay. This year's theme is Rock, celebrating artists who have shaped the genre. My pick is The Remote Part by Idlewild. My team’s favourites include: Stoosh, Is This It, In Rainbows & A Night at the Opera👇

This week in the House of Commons, I raised the concerns of Astley residents about the four warehouses being built close to homes and a primary school. Many feel the consultation was not good enough, and I called for stronger requirements to ensure local voices are heard. 🎥👇

Welcome to this #WheelersWeekly! It’s been a really positive week in #WorsleyAndEccles meeting community groups, visiting schools, and holding a constituency surgery. So, grab a drink, get comfy and let’s catch up on the week. 👇

Wonderful day on Monday! Started with an assembly at St Teresa's RCP on what an MP does & listening to the students' ideas. Then to Eccles RFC for RugbyFest w/ Sale Sharks Foundation & Salford Schools Sports Partnership. Great to see kids enjoying rugby inc. the girls from St Teresa's!

Welcome to #WheelersWeekly! With conferences in full swing, I spent some of last week in Liverpool at Labour Conference attending sessions, the PM’s speech, and key policy announcements before a number of events here in #WorsleyAndEccles. So, time for a brew and catch up👇

The £20m Pride in Place funding for Peel Green & Brookhouse will be driven and delivered by local people. You will decide how it’s spent. Your priorities will be at its heart. Share your thoughts here. 👉 forms.gle/p7YUTZnQNP65... Find out more. 🎥👇

I'm horrified by the attack on worshippers at a synagogue in Manchester. My thoughts are with the victims, their families and the wider Jewish community at this difficult time. I stand in full solidarity with Jewish people in #WorsleyAndEccles and across the country.

I worked to improve people's pay and security before I was an MP and as one, I'm proud to have kept up that work. It's so important to everything we do and I'm not going to stop now.

Big news for Peel Green! £20 million over 10 years through @UKLabour’s Pride in Place Programme. Since being elected as the MP for #WorsleyAndEccles, my focus has been on making this community a good place to live. Now that work is paying off. Real investment. Real change. 👇

Last week, we urged the Lib Dems not to try to weaken the #EmploymentRightsBill. It was hugely disappointing that they joined forces with the Tories and Reform last night to do just that. Fortunately, this Labour Government stood firm and is delivering the Bill.

Welcome to #WheelersWeekly! I hope everyone had a good weekend. I had a great family day out at Eureka! in Halifax. Why not grab a drink and let’s catch up on my work in Westminster and in #WorsleyAndEccles. Here’s what I’ve been working on, and what’s been happening nationally. 👇

As I travel back to Parliament this morning, I'm preparing for the #EmploymentRightsBill to return from the Lords. They've watered it down and we can't let them. Here's what's happened and why it's so important Labour delivers for working people 👇

Today I, with other members of the @usdawunion.bsky.social Parliamentary Group, wrote to Lib Dem MPs calling on them to help undo the damage Lib Dem and Tory Lords did to the #EmploymentRightsBill. People in this country deserve security at work and guaranteed hours is part of that.

I worked with @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social on plans to improve early years and childcare before I was an MP. In Government, she's delivering those plans. Her commitment to delivering on this and the need for a strong Northern voice, means that I have nominated her for Labour Deputy Leader.

Today, the UK comes together for Emergency Services Day, to honour the dedication and service of our emergency services personnel. To all staff and volunteers in the NHS, police, fire, ambulance, coastguard, and search and rescue services: thank you. #999Day

Welcome to #WheelersWeekly! Parliament is back after recess, and in my first week I’ve had meetings and events in Westminster and in #WorsleyAndEccles, including one where I had the pleasure of welcoming the Chancellor and Education Secretary to a local school. Let's dive in.👇
