This week I announced the biggest changes to UK flight paths since the 1950s. As Aviation Minister, I've made it my mission to lead the most ambitious redesign of our airspace in decades. This means: ⌚️ Shorter journeys ⛔️ Fewer delays 🛫 More flights www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It's been a busy few months in Wythenshawe and Sale East. Here's a 2 minute recap of what I've been up to ⏰

🚨BIG NEWS: this afternoon I introduced groundbreaking legislation to put a rocket booster under Sustainable Aviation Fuel production in the UK. Our nation is now a world leader in pioneering green flights, and creating high skilled and cutting edge jobs in the process 💪

When I spoke at the British Ports Annual Lunch last year, I was an opposition spokesperson. Proud to return this year as the UK’s Maritime Minister, delivering on my promise to back our ports and make them fit for the future.

Our world leading aviation sector is built off the hard work of thousands of unsung champions who ensure people and goods fly safely and securely. Congratulations to all the #AviationHeroes who received an award and thanks to Aviation Services UK for having me.

As Aviation, Maritime and Security Minister, this afternoon I updated @houseofcommons.parliament.uk on the incident in the North Sea.

Happy International Women's Day! Proud to have organised a celebration of women in Wythenshawe and Sale East yesterday. Thanks our partners Manchester Airport, @wchg.bsky.social, The Nest Manchester and Safespots for making the event such a success. #IWD2025 #AccelerateAction

Thanks to Safeguarding Minister @jessphillipsmp.bsky.social for supporting Trafford Council's event on Violence Against Women and Girls in Sale. We couldn't have a fiercer local campaigner to end this issue than Councillor @joanne13harding.bsky.social 💪

True in 1945, True in 2025.

Great to visit #LeedsBradfordAirport and see the progress made on their expansion plans, helping to support more high skilled jobs across the UK✈ Also fantastic to meet with #Jet2 and their apprentices - through training and upskilling, we're building a stronger aviation sector!

To all those observing Ramadan in Wythenshawe and Sale East, I wish you all a peaceful month ahead. As a person of faith, I want to thank my Muslim constituents for all they contribute to our community.

An honour to join and speak at the @wistainternational.bsky.social gala dinner last night, aimed at raising funding to support a female cadet into the sector. We are committed to breaking down barriers to opportunity, including supporting more women to pursue a career in maritime.

Getting out & about, chatting with residents and seeing how I can support them is always the highlight of my week & today we even had some sunshine ☀️ If you need my help, you can always contact me here: [email protected] Have a great weekend. Mike

This Labour Government promised to end the crisis in NHS dentistry. Today we’re delivering on that promise by rolling out 700,000 extra urgent dental appointments, with a whopping 85,336 in the North West. Now that’s something to smile about 😁
