Visited John Hunt Ltd off Derby Street last week: a Bolton business with over 150 years of history, exporting pie and tart machinery worldwide. A true local success story and a proud part of our industrial heritage. #Bolton #Manufacturing #LocalBusiness

Congratulations to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social on an inspiring victory. His campaign spoke to what matters most - tackling the cost of living crisis, standing up for working people & challenging inequality. A reminder that politics works best when rooted in fairness & hope.

🎮 Nearly 200,000 people signed a petition on video games & consumer law. I joined @BenGoldsborough in Monday’s Westminster Hall debate to stand up for fairness. If you buy a game, you should be able to play it. It’s time to update the Consumer Rights Act. #StopKillingGames

I spoke in Parliament to support the Public Office (Accountability) bill. It’s about truth, fairness,accountability & making sure families like those affected by scandals like Primodos, are never forced to fight alone again. #Primodos www.yasminqureshi.org.uk/news/2025/11...

During the debate on the Hillsborough Law yesterday, I called on the Prime Minister to ensure that the duty of candour applies to all investigations, not just statutory inquiries #Primodos

Samir is a hero, and no doubt lives were saved thanks to his actions. I wish him a speedy recovery

Awaab’s Law will support over 13,000 people in Bolton South and Walkden by requiring social landlords to quickly fix hazardous homes. Emergency hazards must be addressed within 24 hours, especially Damp and Mould. This is for Awaab Ishak and upholds tenants’ rights to safe homes.

I visited the Willow Hey Breast Cancer fundraiser in Farnworth Last Week and met some truly inspiring women. Their stories reminded me why early detection matters and why we must continue to support services like the Bolton Breast Screening Unit. Thank you to everyone who made the event so powerful

Emerging evidence from El-Fasher is horrifying. Systematic killings, ethnic targeting and mass executions are being described by human rights experts as a continuation of the Darfur genocide. The world cannot stay silent while atrocities unfold in #Sudan. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Visited the North West Ambulance 999 control centre in Manchester. The dedication and calm professionalism of the team is inspiring. Thank you for keeping our communities safe.

Reform and the Tories voted to pull Britain out of the European Convention on Human Rights. This was Churchill's legacy after WWII. I proudly voted against this attack on our freedoms. Britain must not become a pariah state. #HumanRights #Europe

Great news for Bolton South and Walkden: PIA flights from Manchester to Islamabad are back! This direct route means easier travel for thousands of families across the North West. A proud moment for our community and UK–Pakistan ties.

Over 1 million people are waiting for mental health care, including many in Bolton South and Walkden. Labour is tackling the crisis with a new Mental Health Bill that modernises laws, strengthens patient rights and ends the use of police cells for those in crisis.

I said it plainly: justice cannot run on goodwill alone. Barristers are leaving, cases collapsing, victims losing patience. Trial by jury is a safeguard, not a formality. We must increase sitting days and restore legal capacity. www.yasminqureshi.org.uk/news/2025/10...

Labour will support businesses across Bolton South and Walkden that invest in Britain. New procurement reforms will protect jobs, strengthen manufacturing and help local firms win public contracts.

Bolton has a story worth telling. Labour’s UK Town of Culture competition will celebrate towns like ours, support local jobs and bring investment to our high streets.

Last week I met with Salford Youth Council as part of my ongoing campaign to improve outcomes and opportunities for young people with SEND. The young people shared some interesting perspectives and ideas, which I’ll be taking back to Westminster. Their voices are powerful and deserve to be heard.

After a meeting in Salford, I signed the book of condolence for the two victims of the horrific attack at Heaton Park Shul last week. My thoughts are with their families and the wider community. There is no place for hatred or violence in our society. We must stand together against it.

This morning’s news of a ceasefire in #Gaza brings a small but precious glimmer of hope after nearly two years of unimaginable suffering. Now must come justice, peace and rebuilding for the Palestinian people.

People in Bolton South and Walkden are waiting too long for NHS care. Labour will launch the NHS Online Hospital so patients can see specialists faster, from home, using the NHS App. More choice, less waiting.

I met with the Premier League last week about the importance of grassroots sport across Bolton South and Walkden. With Bolton Wanderers at the heart of our community, we discussed how football can be the bridge to so many other opportunities in towns like ours

Hospices like Bolton Hospice & Moya Cole Hospice provide compassionate, vital end-of-life care: on the wards, in our communities, & in the comfort of people’s homes. With proper funding, they can reach even more families. This #HospiceCareWeek, let’s show that hospice care is truly #MoreThanYouThink

Students in Bolton South and Walkden are being forced to choose between earning and learning. Labour will bring back targeted maintenance grants for low-income students on key courses so they can focus on their future, not just making ends meet.

Appalled by the attack on a mosque in East Sussex. An appalling act of Islamophobic hate. Grateful no lives were lost, but the impact will be profound. We must stand together against hate and division. Our strength is in unity, and intolerance will not win.

Honoured to celebrate Gandhi’s birth anniversary with Bolton’s Keralan community this week. Coming together to care for the places we share is a simple but powerful way to live his values.

Great to have joined several conversations at #Lab25 over the past few days: from tackling the impact of AI on youth employment to exploring ways to strengthen communities. Energising to connect with experts and colleagues on how the Labour government can help people thrive.

Many people contact me during difficult times. It’s always uplifting when we can make a positive difference. Need help? Email me: [email protected] – my team and I will do what we can.

From Hillsborough to #Primodos, contaminated blood and the Post Office, families have faced decades of cover-ups and denial. The Hillsborough Law is a breakthrough, but Parliament must deliver it in full. My article with Marie Lyon in @labourlist.bsky.social labourlist.org/2025/09/hill...

Last week I spent the day with 216th (Bolton) Battery at Altcar Training Camp. From strategic briefings to hands-on training, their professionalism and pride in service were clear throughout. Grateful for the warm welcome and the chance to share lunch with the team. #216Battery #ArmyReserve #Bolton

The Hillsborough Law is a promise: never again will victims be silenced. I’ve long campaigned for justice for families failed by the system. This law is a vital step forward. #HillsboroughLawNow #JusticeForVictims Read my column: www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/2547747...

Too many women with endometriosis face years of pain and delay before diagnosis. I support the call for a National Endometriosis Registry to improve care and reduce postcode inequality. Women deserve better. I spoke to The Bolton News about this www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/2547126...

When I first spoke in Parliament about Palestine 15 years ago, recognition of statehood felt like a distant hope. Today I can say with pride: UK Labour MPs in a UK Labour Government made it happen. A historic step, but it’s only the beginning

It was an absolute delight last week to visit St Paul's CE Primary School on Crompton Street in Walkden and speak to the pupils there about what it is that an MP does. Thank you so much to Ms Knipe and Mrs O'Reilly for such a warm welcome!

Today the Hillsborough Law is laid before Parliament, a vital step to ensure families like those affected by Primodos never face decades of cover-ups again #HillsboroughLawNow
