It was a privilege to lay a wreath at the memorial in Swinton today

We paused today to honour the courage and sacrifice of all who served and gave their lives in the pursuit of peace.

We will remember them.

FACIAL: Movember UK update - thank you to everyone who has donated to my efforts so far! Here’s a quick ‘mo’ update.

I joined local councillors and members of our community in Irlam this morning and Astley this afternoon to honour and remember those from #WorsleyAndEccles, across the UK and the Commonwealth who served and sacrificed.

A moving reminder of the courage and dedication of so many.

Remembering the 97 lives lost at Hillsborough in 1989 and the families who never gave up on justice.

The Hillsborough Law had its second reading yesterday, introducing accountability, a duty of candour, and support for families.

I am proud to back this Bill.

I’m here to listen, be accessible, and help wherever I can.

NATIONAL: A Government that backs working people.

🌹Labour’s £8bn investment deal means 20,000 secure British jobs - delivering growth and opportunity. In the North West, we're getting £4bn of MOD investment supporting skilled defence jobs.

PARLIAMENT: A real joy to celebrate the Lionesses’ Victory at UEFA Women’s EURO 2025!

Being joined by the players themselves made it a truly special moment to remember their summer success and champion women’s sport across the country.

FACIAL: This Movember, I'm growing a mo (the harder part was shaving off my beard!) to raise money and awareness of men's health. Whether it's male suicide, mental health, or cancer, men don't talk anywhere near enough. If you'd like to support:

NATIONAL: 11 million renters now have stronger rights thanks to Labour’s Renters Rights Act, which became law this week.

From safer homes to fairer treatment, this new law delivers real change for renters in #WorsleyAndEccles & across the country.

A massive win for tenants.

Welcome to #WheelersWeekly!

This week, we've seen key Government legislation pass become law, I've been continuing my campaign alongside local councillors in #WorsleyAndEccles to protect our Green Belt, and I've shaved off my beard to for Movember!

Let’s catch up. 👇

These are just some of the new rights the historic Renters’ Rights Act gives tenants.

I’m proud that Labour is taking decisive action to finally fix our broken rental market.

Everyone deserves a safe, secure, and affordable home. This Act is a major step towards that.

“What are you doing to stop people being kicked out of their homes for no reason?”

That was the shocking question a primary school child asked me during a visit.

Labour has acted to end immoral Section 21 no-fault evictions. No child should live in fear of homelessness.

"She said the quiet bit out loud".

We can debate policy, and have different ideas, but we must call out racism when it's right in front of us.

Well said Wes.

CONSTITUENCY: Proud to support Esther Ghey and the #PhoneFreeEducation campaign. Visiting schools in #WorsleyAndEccles, I’ve heard from teachers and parents how smartphones can disrupt learning. A phone-free classroom helps students focus and keeps everyone safer.

CONSTITUENCY: I visited the Church Inn in Swinton, a local business and community venue for #WorsleyAndEccles. It was a good opportunity to hear about the work they are doing and I even got to pour a pint!

I look forward to visiting again soon.

NATIONAL: Labour is creating over 400,000 clean energy jobs by 2030. I’m proud to support this, including 55,000 well-paid jobs in the North West with union rights and training at its core. Local communities and trades like plumbers, electricians and welders will benefit.
