Amazing to visit Bridgewater Foundation Salford: Step into Action and Bridgewater Security with Cllrs Michelle Barnes & Teresa Pepper recently for their Xmas party for local children and charities. Lorry loads of toy and presents—they did amazing, huge thanks to the whole team and all who donated.

Lovely to attend Sacred Trinity Church’s Annual Carol Service yesterday with Reverend Andy Salmon, along with Salford Mayor Paul Dennett & Cllrs Jane Hamilton & Emma Cammell. The Flat Iron choir were brilliant.

I’ve joined MPs in writing to Ministers about proposed ILR changes, calling for protections for Hongkongers on the BN(O) route, no retroactive rule changes, and fair, common-sense exemptions so humanitarian visa routes remain true to their purpose. (1/2)

Pleased the Employment Rights Bill has passed Parliament and will soon be law. It means fairer sick pay, stronger protection from zero-hour contracts and unfair dismissal, better parental leave and tougher redundancy rules, all enforced by a new Fair Work Agency.

The destructive 2 child cap on universal credit has been scrapped 👏
Well done Rachel Reeves and to all who campaigned hard on this. Absolutely the right thing for a Labour Government to do. Will benefit 1.6 million children, and lifts c.500,000 children out of poverty #Budget2025

On International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, we must be clear: digital violence is real violence. Online attacks are rising, silencing women in politics, journalism and activism. There is #NoExcuse. This must end.

I have co-signed a cross party letter calling on the Chancellor to make this year's Budget a turning point. Our tax system asks too much of working people and too little of extreme wealth. [1/2]

Today is World COPD Day. COPD is common but often missed. Early diagnosis saves lives. If you have ongoing breathlessness, a chronic cough, frequent chest infections or exposure to risk factors, please speak to a health professional.

I strongly welcome Salford City Council’s decision to exempt terminally ill people from paying council tax. Nobody facing a terminal diagnosis should have to worry about bills or enforcement letters when they should be focusing on their health and loved ones.

Thank you for inviting me to visit @moneywellness.com, it was great to meet the team and hear more about the vital work you do supporting people and families up and down the country. Fantastic to see such an important organisation based in Salford. Keep up the great work!

I joined cross-Party MPs in signing a motion calling for the Chancellor to abolish the two-child limit in the Autumn Budget. Ending this cruel policy would lift 670,000 people, including 470,000 children, out of severe hardship and transform lives across the UK.

I spoke in Parliament about global tax justice. Multinationals shifting billions through tax havens deprive our hospitals, schools and care services of tens of billions every year. It’s time for transparency, fairness and change.
