Great to have @andyburnham.bsky.social out today giving his full backing to our brilliant candidate Angeliki Stogia for Gorton and Denton.

Andy was clear - we are united against the division of Reform. He wants people to vote Labour to keep them out of Manchester.

One month today, GM will have lifted the 9.30am restriction on older and disabled people’s bus passes - permanently.

We continue to work relentlessly to improve the lives of our residents! 💪🏻🐝

Big congrats Angeliki! I know you will do a great job. I will be there for you whenever you need me.🤞🏻💪🏻

My January salary donation to our A Bed Every Night scheme.

This year, I will be calling on the Government to make this a national approach.

GM can’t fix rough sleeping on its own.

Newly-arrived or otherwise, no one should have to spend one night on Britain’s streets in 2026.

Given the weekend I’ve had it feels very much like a Dominic Calvert-Lewin hat-trick is now incoming.

I am disappointed by today’s NEC decision and concerned about its potential impact on the important elections ahead of us.

To whoever becomes Labour’s candidate and to our members in Manchester and Tameside: you will have my full support in this fight and I will be there whenever you need me.

"When I was in Westminster, people didn't organise to get the best for their region. They spent all the time point-scoring."

At @instituteforgovernment.org.uk conference, @andyburnham.bsky.social called for a new voting system that would promote a "place-first, not party-first" culture.

We agree!

Andy Burnham spoke at the IFS with @uclpolicylab.bsky.social today where he championed devolution as the antidote to centralisation and privatisation, and argued a new politics was needed for a new economy to emerge, set in opposition to the new right who he said were architects of our malaise.

Wonderful to visit the new Rob Burrow Centre for Motor Neurone Disease in Leeds with Rob’s family.

What a place and what a difference he and they will make for families coming after them.

Thanks to everyone who donated and, of course, to the great Kevin Sinfield. 🙏🏻
