It’s a sad indictment that hospital staff who go to work to care for others are subjected to daily abuse, and the horrific attack on nurse Achamma Cherian at the Royal Oldham brought this into sharp focus. (1/2)

Proud a campaign started in Oldham in 2017 has gone from a Private Members Bill to the manifesto & now before Parliament. We’re giving 16 & 17 year olds the vote despite Tory opposition. From Peterloo marchers to working class suffragette Annie Kenney Oldham's always stepped up to expand democracy.

It was an honour to represent the UK Parliament on a cross-party delegation marking the 4th anniversary of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Ukrainians are strong, defiant & holding back Russia’s illegal assault for all of Europe. They deserve support not just to resist, but to restore peace. 🇬🇧🇺🇦

Today, Angela Rayner put the fight for commonhold as "vested interests vs people being shafted." She's right. It's time to mandate commonhold, end leasehold creation for new builds, and give existing leaseholders conversion rights.

For 14 years the Tories failed to take action on mileage rates, with working people left paying to work. Labour is the party of working people. That's why I’m calling for government to instruct HMRC to finally refresh the mileage rate & show working people that they have a government on their side.

Good to see this rolled out across GM. Too many kids are held back by homelessness. We’re fighting back in Manchester, more social and council homes, stopping families in b&bs, funding prevention- that’s why we’re bucking the trend and *reducing* homelessness. This will help in the meantime 👇🏼

The rise of HMOs are blighting communities across Oldham. Landlords are getting richer at the cost of local communities who see neighbourhoods rapidly change, waste and parking pressures and a loss of much needed family homes. Councils are battling, we need national action too.

High streets have closed because distant landlords care more about their own profits than our communities. The last Government broke high streets - you can fix them. The Pride in Place programme puts the keys in your hands, together with the Community Right to Buy.
