The Tories crashed the economy. In January, Reform said Labour was pushing us into recession. With Labour, in the first three months of the year, the UK economy has grown faster than the US, Canada, France, Italy and Germany.

🚨 The Great British Energy Bill has been passed by Parliament. The first publicly-owned energy company in over 70 years. A domestic clean power champion, owned by the British people, for the British people. Read more about GBE here: www.gov.uk/government/n...

Given the appalling conditions we know they are being held in, it’s imperative that humanitarian access reaches the hostages and that Britain makes every effort with international partners to secure their release.

This Sunday, I met with Emily Damari. She told me about her friends Ziv and Gali Berman, who are still being held by Hamas.

A tale of two great cities! These plans would be transformational for the North West. Backing this all the way - let’s get the North the transport it deserves. Looking forward to hearing more about the vision of this project in Parliament later today🚆 www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

Last week, I welcomed Merseyside’s Police and Crime Commissioner Emily Spurrell to the Wirral, where we discussed your experiences of antisocial behaviour (ASB). I took Emily to Grove Park where residents have been in touch with me about the impact ASB here has on them.

Nigel Farage’s economic plans are a disaster www.economist.com/britain/2025...

Happy #InternationalNursesDay! Thank you to all the incredible nurses for your dedication, compassion & skill. You care for us in our most vulnerable moments – today we celebrate you and the vital work you do every day 💙

Pleased to sign my colleagues letter urging the Financial Conduct Authority to crack down on the practice of insurance firms charging excessive interest rates to customers paying monthly. We need to put an end to rip-off prices and deliver savings on insurance costs for our constituents.

The current plans to cut PIP are completely unacceptable, which is why I was among the 42 Labour MPs to sign the letter opposing the reforms to benefits as they stand. My piece to the @bigissue.com on why I cannot support the government’s proposals to cut benefits ⬇️

Last Friday I held my surgery at St Michael's in Pensby, talking to constituents about the issues affecting them. If you need a surgery appointment, please email me at [email protected]

Delighted to join my union GMB in parliament this week to mark 50 years since the Equal Pay Act, the GMB remains committed to fighting for fairness and equality for our members. Join a union!

Britain's energy security depends on the expansion of home-grown clean energy — cutting bills, creating jobs, and protecting us from global shocks like Putin's invasion of Ukraine. Those standing in the way of a clean energy future are undermining the security of this country.

This week is #BlackMaternalHealthAwarenessWeek. Our 2024 manifesto promised an explicit target to end the scandal of Black & Asian maternal deaths. Black women are still 3x more likely to die in pregnancy or childbirth. We need immediate action to close the gap. fivexmore.org/black-matern...

Pleased to attend yesterday Dementia UK’s “time for a cuppa” event where we discussed the importance of Admiral Nurses and the new partnership with Nationwide where their branches are now offering access to support for anyone with dementia

At this critical juncture for the Middle East, I welcome the Government's strong commitment to building a peaceful future. On the road to achieving that peace, we have to see the immediate release of the hostages held by Hamas.

Local government workers keep our communities running—without them, life would be a lot harder. Made up to sponsor @unisontheunion.bsky.social’s event in Parliament and speak alongside my friend Angela Rayner.

This Thursday. Thank you for your support.

🏆 Congratulations to @liverpoolfc1.bsky.social on securing their 20th English top-flight title, equalling the all-time record! A historic achievement for the club! 🙌🔴

What a team, what a season! ❤️

Remember the dead, fight for the living. On Workers' Memorial Day, we remember all those who have lost their lives to work-related illness or injury. Everyone deserves a safe place of work. #IWMD25 @tuc.org.uk

On this International Workers’ Memorial Day, we come together—across backgrounds, industries, and communities—not just to remember those we’ve lost, but to reaffirm our unwavering commitment to the living. (1/3) 🧵

Lovely and sunny campaign session in Runcorn & Helsby today ☀️

My team and I have been working tirelessly to ensure King’s Leadership Academy Wavertree opens this year. So, we are absolutely delighted to say that the funding has finally been agreed and the school will be open for admissions for this September.

Our welfare system has become more punitive than supportive, and penalising disabled people is not the way to review it. The consultation period is open until 30th June 2025. As outlined in the letter, respond online, via email or post: forms.office.com/pages/respon...

This month, I wrote to the Chancellor urging her to reconsider changes to disability & welfare benefits. Today, I received this response from the DWP. They say they’re consulting – so let’s make our voices heard loud & clear. We can get them to roll back on this cruel policy.

It’s time to rise again! Join us on Saturday 17th May for Liverpool Rising Against Racism – an evening of music, spoken word & unity at St George’s Hall. Let’s honour our city’s proud tradition of standing against hatred & division. @wowfest.bsky.social cultureliverpool.co.uk/news/liverpo...

🚫 “14.5 million tickets expected this year.” Private parking firms are handing out £100 fines like they’re going out of style — and I’ve had enough. Spoke to Hits Radio about what I’m hearing from residents in Southport. Broken apps. Unusable machines. Sky-high penalties. 📄 Read more▶️

Under the Tories, the state was too large and too slow. Despite record numbers of civil servants, outcomes in Wirral West worsened. Wirral West deserves world-class public services once again and that is what I am fighting for every day.

Farage is typical of the new know it all breed of social media experts. He knows nothing about SEND. But rather than learn he mouths off and proclaims his own ill informed opinions as fact. He is wrong about SEND just like he’s wrong about most things. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

When I was a teenager Alder Hey saved my life, so I’m delighted to support the #PutChildrenFirst campaign led by @alderheycharity.org. I went along with Sophia and Jai to deliver their letter to @primeministeruk.bsky.social, calling for action to help young people lead happier, healthier lives.

At the @iea.org Summit on the Future of Energy Security, Ed Miliband just told us: Cost of Solar down 90% since 2010 Offshore wind down 60% We’re price takers on volatile fossil fuel markets. Energy independence isn’t a luxury—it’s essential. Renewables are now the cheapest option.

Generative AI is being trained on music and other creative works—without asking, without paying. That's theft, not progress. Yesterday in Westminster Hall I called for clear protections for creators and for transparency from companies who are using others' works.

Dozens of families across Merseyside, including my constituents, have been left financially and emotionally devastated by the actions of home improvement company, Celsius Home Improvement Limited. I asked what can be done to get justice and a full refund for my constituents. @liverpoolecho.co.uk

The clock is ticking ⏰ Child poverty is set to increase under a Labour government for the first time in history. As the most cost-effective way to reduce child poverty, we must #ScrapTheCap. Great to speak with child poverty charities & organisations in Parliament yesterday.

Kids at the school recorded a video about their pride in the Woodchurch which we told the Prime Minister about. We recorded a short video for the children at the school (below). I hope everyone celebrating has a wonderful St George’s Day.

Today is St George's Day. A day we celebrate this great country and our proud heritage. I was delighted to invite Mr Hewitt, headteacher of Fender Primary School on the Woodchurch to join me at Number 10 Downing Street to celebrate.

Happy St George’s Day for everyone celebrating in Liverpool and across the country!

Today we celebrate St George’s Day – and the rich culture, proud traditions, and the green and pleasant land we call home. Here’s to a fairer, kinder England for all, where justice and democracy are protected and upheld for everyone. #StGeorgesDay
