Yet another win for the brilliant @sharonhodgsonmp. Her decade of work on this has paid off for hundreds of thousands of arts and sports enthusiasts.
I was delighted to speak to Richard Quest on @cnn.com about the Government's plans to cap ticket resales and put fans first.

The UK has a world-leading live events sector and fans deserve the right to pay a fair price, as is already the case in other countries that have legislated in this way. 1/2

🩺 Labour is keeping prescription charges frozen for another year, keeping medications under a tenner thanks to the investment the Chancellor has put into our NHS.

🎟️ Labour is making it illegal to resell tickets for live events above the original cost.

Big shout-out to my friend @sharonhodgsonmp.bsky.social who’s campaigned on this for 15+ years to see it become actual policy: MP = massive persistence 👏🏻

November 19 is #internationalmensday, a day when the focus is on the issues that affect men’s physical health, like prostate cancer; men’s mental health - suicide is one of the biggest killers of men under 50; the role of dads; through to loneliness in old age.

🎨 A pleasure to join Friends of Mauldeth Road Station, for the unveiling of two murals on the rail bridge.

They’re the work of brilliant local artist Caroline Coates & depict the wildlife in nearby Ladybarn Park. It really brightens up Mauldeth Road. Well done to the Friends Group and all involved👏🏻

In the long process of restoring the website by copying it from archive.org, I think we have all the VIC-20 stuff on there now!

Complete with a VIC-20 themed site header on those articles :)

🎄 It’s great when local businesses get into the Christmas spirit… The Local Lounge in Denton has certainly pulled out all the stops and set a very high bar this year.

Well done for making the old Post Office look so festive. You’ve definitely upped the Christmas spirit ante this year! 🎅🏻

I was proud to support Labour’s Employment Rights Bill - which is now law - because the measures will create a fairer working environment for everyone.

Here’s just 4 simple measures that’ll make a BIG difference…

Thank you to Shiraz Haider for showing me around Open Kitchen, a charity organised by Muslim Hands UK, including the new kitchen facilities recently installed here.

So far 71,800 hot meals have been distributed to those living in food poverty in south Manchester.

👦🏼👧🏻👧🏾 I’ve been thinking more about the shocking statistics on child poverty which were identified by the HoC Library

48% of children are living in poverty across Gorton and Denton but this ranges from 73% in Northmoor to 5% in Shirley Park

‼️Across Gorton & Denton, 48% of children are living in poverty; but this ranges from 5% in parts of Denton to 73% in parts of Longsight.

That deep inequality sickens me so the Budget must tackle child poverty head on 🧒🏻👧🏻
