Fantastic to have Faith Minister @miattafahnbulleh.bsky.social here in Manchester today!🌹 She joined me to meet with residents and faith leaders here in our city to learn more about how Labour can deliver for Muslim communities.✅️

Great campaigning session in Levenshulme this weekend!🌹 Angeliki will make a fantastic Labour MP - with a proven track record on public transport and the environment.🌳🚌 Voting Labour is the only way we can defeat Reform and keep hatred and division out of our city.

Labour has announced today a plan to tackle knife crime. ✔️🌹 We are cracking down on the root causes of knife crimes by putting funding at the hearts of communities, reopening youth centres, and making intervention mandatory for those caught with knives so that they don't reoffend again .🏫 🏘️

Racist and wrong - he must apologise. Our city is diverse and inclusive, if he can't accept that then he shouldn't own one of our clubs. I wonder if he'd say this to his players? His abhorrent views apply to many of them. I doubt it - he makes too much money off the back of their success.

It's #HeartUnions week!❤️ I'm a proud to be a union member and to have voted for Labour's historic Employment Rights Act - strengthening your rights in the workplace.👷 If you're not in a union then join a union!🌹💪

Today is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science!👩‍🔬🧪 Before the new year I joined 3M's brilliant STEM event at MMU aimed at inspiring young girls to be the new generation of women in STEM.🦠 Labour's Women in Tech taskforce is pushing forward in making STEM more diverse and inclusive.👩‍💻

The Local Power Plan, launched today, includes a £1 billon fund to support local people to generate their own clean energy, and cut their bills, for their schools, sports clubs and community assets. 📻 Hear from Ed Miliband on LBC, on how to get involved with the Plan:

Two Khans are better than one! Joined by the fantastic @london.gov.uk in Longsight today!🏙️ Whilst he's wrong that London is better than Manchester - he's right that Angeliki is the perfect candidate to deliver hope and unity in this election. Vote Labour to defeat Reform on the 26th of Feb.🌹

My constituents still face pressures on their daily lives because of the rising cost of living.☕ That's why I want to talk to you about support as well as what I and the Labour Government are doing to the cost of living head on. Register using the QR code or the link: buff.ly/P5SeOqk

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 👇🏼

Absolutely horrified to learn about the attack on Tarlai's Imambargah in Islamabad. My thoughts and prayers are with the families of the injured and of lost loved ones. Violence is never the answer.

Air pollution is now formally recognised as a cancer risk in Europe. “Individuals are encouraged to limit their exposure by choosing public transport, walking or cycling…and keeping homes free of smoke by avoiding the burning of coal or wood”. #WorldCancerDay #AirPollution

Here's a list of everyone who voted to lift 450,000 children out of poverty last night. More importantly - there's also a list of those who voted against. Looking for Farage? He didn't even bother to turn up.

Labour's fantastic Minister for the Middle East and North Africa Hamish Falconer joined our campaign in Denton and Gorton over the weekend to support Angeliki Stogia.🌹 Only Labour can defeat Reform and their vile campaign of hatred and division.

Reform’s been mysteriously quiet about their DOGE work recently. Maybe it’s because they’ve spent: 🅿️ £600k on free councillor parking in Kent 💷 £1.4m on “cost-cutting” consultants in Leicestershire 🏢 £5,000/day on empty offices in Worcestershire So much for “efficiency”. 🤡

👇This new report lays bare the horrifying scale of abuse, hatred and discrimination faced by Muslim women and girls across the UK. Hatred against Muslims continues to plague our communities. A clear, effective definition of Islamophobia is the essential first step in tackling it.

Labour's Warm Homes Plan will deliver for those living in fuel poverty - upgrading homes with insulation, solar panels, and heat pumps.✔️ This Labour Government is putting efficiency and sustainability at the heart of its plans to cut bills and tackle fuel poverty.

I've put together just some of the many ways in which myself and the Labour Party delivered for my constituents in 2025.🌹 Read my annual report using the link below:📖 buff.ly/8ChppbY

This is racism - plain and simple. The people of Gorton and Denton deserve better than this. Vote Labour to keep this rhetoric out of Manchester. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Only Labour can defeat Reform in Gorton and Denton. A vote for the Greens or any other party risks them getting in. We are a tolerant, proud, progressive city and we don’t want their divisive brand of politics here.

This report is a shocking reminder that the temporary accommodation crisis is devastating the lives of children across the UK. I welcome the commitments made by the Government in the National Plan to End Homelessness, but the needs of neurodivergent children must be explicit in these measures

As promised, Labour is today publishing its huge and radical leasehold reform plans. Including, capping ground rents at £250, eventually moving to peppercorn. All the measures announced later today. Residents of Manchester who want to be kept abreast of these changes - sign up below👇:

Today marks Holocaust Memorial Day. Today, we remember the six million Jewish people and millions of others who were killed because they were from marginalised groups, as well as the other genocides around the world. We must always stand against fascism.

Delighted to join @heidialexander.bsky.social @andyburnham.bsky.social & GM leaders for the signing of the concordat between the Government & GM on the huge commitment to NPR, including work on a through, underground station at Piccadilly. It will be a game-changer for connectivity in the North.

Reform’s Laila Cunningham is stoking hatred by saying women in burkas have something to hide. This is yet more dangerous rhetoric from Reform. We’re better than this and she knows it. Maybe she's just projecting? Given her boss hid his extra earnings – it’s no wonder she’s so quick to distrust.

Labour is investing £1.5 billion into our arts, museums, libraries & heritage sites over the next 5 years: 💷£760m – museums 🎭£425m – arts venues 🏛️£230m – heritage buildings 📚£27.5m – libraries ✅ Protecting venues ✅ Securing jobs ✅ Making culture accessible to everyone www.gov.uk/government/n...

It's #CleanAirNight. Can you rethink burning, tonight and beyond? Wood burning creates tiny particles of pollution (including soot and carbon) that lodge deep in our bodies and make us sick. This doesn't just affect the household burning, but their neighbours, too.

Today Labour is pushing forward and bringing your energy bills down with our Warm Homes Plan.🏠 Backed by £15 billion in investment - we are tackling fuel poverty by changing our energy system to provide you with clean, green, affordable energy.💡 🌳

Under the Tories, water companies waited until our pipes and pumps burst before they bothered to fix them - and they let them get away with it. Labour is stopping this for good - preventing you from suffering water shortages and coming down hard on companies that have failed us for too long.

Greater Manchester Police has consistently met government targets on hiring - keeping our community safe. 🌇 👮 But it faces significant funding issues which need resolving. I've raised GMP funding with the Home Secretary. Adequate funding is needed to allow our Force to do their vital work.

The Israeli government is threatening to prevent international non-governmental organisations from providing life saving services across Palestine. I am working with MPs to make sure the Foreign Secretary applies pressure on the Israeli Government to allow full access to live-saving treatment.

X's Grok has been used to spread disgusting illegal sexualised images, as well as to spread vile Islamophobic disinformation. I'm calling for Ofcom to investigate the use of Grok for illegal and dangerous activities, and I support any action taken against X to stop it.

I’ve written to the Prime Minister calling on the Government to mark Islamophobia Awareness Month in November and take urgent action to tackle rising anti-Muslim hate by adopting the definition presented to them this week promptly.

My statement on the Gaza Ceasefire Deal👇

I shared my deep condolences today to the victims families & the community This vile act of terror on Yom Kippur is felt across the country I stand with the Jewish community. We must continue to come together during these difficult times. Antisemitism and bigotry will never win in Manchester

Horrifying news out of Crumpsall this morning following a major incident. I want to thank the police for swift action. Praying for the whole community on this holy day. Violence is never the answer and Manchester must stand together against these actions.

This week marked National Fitness Day so it was great to join Councillors and UK Active at Moss Side Leisure Centre. Physical activity is essential for our physical, mental, and social well-being. Join a local leisure centre, gym, sports club, or even get out for a walk to support your own health.

President Trump’s Islamophobic language towards Mayor Sadiq Khan is unacceptable. The UK must stand together to fight back on xenophobia and racism - it is not welcome here and we will not be divided.

Incredible to attend the first flag raising at the Palestinian Embassy as the UK formally recognised the State of Palestine. I have campaigned on recognition for decades, but we cannot stop here. I will continue to press the Government to secure a ceasefire and a lasting two-state solution.

The UK has recognised the state of Palestine. But, recognition without action is meaningless. Recognition must now be accompanied by: - release of all hostages - an immediate ceasefire - unrestricted humanitarian aid - a halt to settlement expansion - full accountability for all war crimes

The UK must recognise the state of Palestine - it is overdue. Read my full thoughts in the London Daily: buff.ly/lIWohpi

Only 30% of autistic people are in employment, compared to 82% of neurotypical, non-disabled people. We must take urgent action to ensure autistic people have fair access to the labour market, including an awareness campaign with employers. Listen to my full intervention 👇

Qatar is a UK ally and a key mediator in Gaza ceasefire talks. The UK must draw a line in the sand and call out this Israeli Government for what it is - a danger to peace in the Middle East. Here's my question to the Middle East Minister.

I have written to the Prime Minister to express my concerns regarding the Israeli President’s visit to the UK. 👇 The UK has a legal and moral responsibility to ensure we are not complicit in legitimising those accused of international crimes.

My response to the unacceptable attack on Qatar by Israeli authorities.

Cars parked on the pavement can be frustrating and dangerous. 5 years ago, there was a consultation into giving councils powers to tackle this, but the Tories ignored it. I've written to Minister Greenwood & 36 Labour MPs to share our support to end this practice. Pavements are for people

Constituents in Hulme 🚨 I am happy to host a Hulme coffee morning on Saturday, 6 September from 11am - 12pm. Whether you need help with an issue or want to talk about policy, register to attend using the link below Pre-registration is required buff.ly/JazvKNg

The right-wing Israeli Government must immediately stop its attacks on Palestine. Innocent children are suffering at the highest rate. I signed a letter with 96 cross-party MPs to urge the Government to do more to help those with the most need in Gaza. Listen to the full interview 👇 buff.ly/74VyMt4
