Today we remember the 22 lives lost in the Manchester Arena attack on 22 May 2017, and all those affected by it. Manchester remembers and will never forget 🐝❤️

My new 'I'm Backing Hacking' profile pic was made for me by my Trevor Arms quiz team pals back in 2014 for the local election that year. Smiths Dave sadly no longer with us.

Today, I volunteered as a steward at the Chorlton Fun Run as I've done every year since it began. A great local event with a record number of runners. Hundreds of kids running alongside hundreds of adults was lovely to see. I was joined by my councillor colleagues Tina & Mathew.

Does anybody know if she’s flying home and what that means for her carbon footprint?

I assume so. It's a bloody long way on a bike.😂

I don't know.😂 She needs to hurry up if she wants to talk to any actual Chorlton residents before poling day! 🙄

A really positive door knocking session in glorious sunshine this morning. We spoke to lots of residents in the Manchester Rd area. We are the only party knocking on doors and speaking with residents. Something we do all year round. Not just at election time.

📚MANCHESTER LABOUR IS INVESTING IN OUR LIBRARIES📚 We are delivering longer opening hours and Sunday opening hours📖 Libraries are at the heart of our communities as a place for all ages to come to read, learn and be creative🌟🐝 #chorltonlabour

The two Labour incumbents explained why things were difficult but highlighted those areas where they were able to bring improvements whereas the Lib Dem, WRP, SDP and Green candidates all appeared to want the moon on a stick and to do things no local councillor or council can do.

" one of the Greens was hiking in the Himalyas" So funny, but actually true. This is the reason for the no-show by the Green Party candidate for Chorlton Ward! 🙄🙄🙄

I really enjoyed tonights local election hustings in Chorlton. It's really important in a social media world to keep this kind of 'real life' interaction going. It's a pity I was the only Chorlton candidate who thinks that. A no show from all the other Chorlton candidates!"

Great morning out talking with residents in Chorlton this morning. Good conversation about a range of issues both local and national. 🌹

We want to send a clear message to people that if you come to our city to spread hate and division- you are not welcome here, it is not the Manchester way. We don't want any disorder on our streets.

Six years today since my best friend Sue Murphy passed away. I miss her friendship, laughter, wisdom, advice, counsel and comradeship. RIP Sue. 💔❤️💔

Thanks to the financial settlement from the Labour government for the first time in 14 years we have a budget surplus in Manchester. We've made a video about the work we’ve done over the last few years, and what we can do with this extra money.This only happens with Manchester Labour.

As we approach the first year of the reopening of Chorlton Library, there is some incredible data on the usage of the library over the last year. This is due to investment in our libraries and the work of dedicated MCC officers & library staff.

Manchester Labour is delivering longer opening hours in our libraries, including the re-introduction of Sunday opening in some of them for the first time for almost 15 years. This follows recent fantastic investment in Chorlton Library.
