Lisa Nandy has said the BBC must remain independent, accountable, commanding public trust - and that it must reflect the whole of the UK, drive economic growth and be sustainably and fairly funded.
We agree. That's why we're calling for the BBC to be mutualised.

Great to meet with postmasters at Royton and Chadderton to discuss our shared ambition for the towns to be home to Banking Hubs.

Proud to co-sponsor @yasminqureshimp.bsky.social's Bill which would give councils stronger powers to control excessive firework noise.
This is a real issue for many in Oldham West, Chadderton & Royton; they deserve action which cracks down on fireworks to keep them safe & respectful for everyone.

Social media and messaging platforms are currently significant enablers of harm and abuse against children.
The idea they could ever be trusted to self assess and police is ridiculous.

Working people keep Britain running, but many are having to pay out of their own pocket just to do their jobs because HMRC’s mileage rate hasn’t changed in 15 years
Unison & the RAC called for a raise in the 45p a mile rate but the Tories did nothing
I’m challenging HMRC to get its house in order
