Because our heroes deserve nothing less.

Everyone deserves to feel safe at work - abuse should never be part of the job ❌

This is a really important campaign by Usdaw Union and that is why Labour have made it an offence to assault a shop worker as part of the Crime and Policing Bill

War memorials tell the story of sacrifice & service.

Many need urgent repair; so I welcome the £2m funding announced by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport to protect them for future generations.

We will never forget

Great turnout at Bolton's Armistice Day memorial this morning, with the Town Hall and Market Place beautifully decorated. Over 2,500 in Bolton South and Walkden have served in our armed forces. I want to thank them all for their sacrifices to keep us safe.

Today, on Armistice Day, we pause for two minutes’ silence to remember all who fought and gave their lives for our country and freedoms. I especially honour those from Bolton South & Walkden, and across the UK, who serve or have served in our Armed Forces. Your courage and sacrifice will live on.

Yesterday I laid wreaths in Kearsley and Little Hulton, with Cllr Aalaina Khan laying a wreath on my behalf in Bolton.

It’s important to me that I attend a different service in my constituency each year to remember all those who served, fought and died for this country

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Visited John Hunt Ltd off Derby Street last week: a Bolton business with over 150 years of history, exporting pie and tart machinery worldwide.
A true local success story and a proud part of our industrial heritage. #Bolton #Manufacturing #LocalBusiness

🎮 Nearly 200,000 people signed a petition on video games & consumer law. I joined @BenGoldsborough in Monday’s Westminster Hall debate to stand up for fairness.

If you buy a game, you should be able to play it. It’s time to update the Consumer Rights Act.

During the debate on the Hillsborough Law yesterday, I called on the Prime Minister to ensure that the duty of candour applies to all investigations, not just statutory inquiries #Primodos

🚨 GMFRS must be properly funded 🚨

Firefighters deserve better. Our communities do too.

I visited the Willow Hey Breast Cancer fundraiser in Farnworth Last Week and met some truly inspiring women.
Their stories reminded me why early detection matters and why we must continue to support services like the Bolton Breast Screening Unit.
Thank you to everyone who made the event so powerful

Visited the North West Ambulance 999 control centre in Manchester. The dedication and calm professionalism of the team is inspiring. Thank you for keeping our communities safe.

Reform and the Tories voted to pull Britain out of the European Convention on Human Rights. This was Churchill's legacy after WWII. I proudly voted against this attack on our freedoms. Britain must not become a pariah state. #HumanRights #Europe

Great news for Bolton South and Walkden: PIA flights from Manchester to Islamabad are back!

This direct route means easier travel for thousands of families across the North West. A proud moment for our community and UK–Pakistan ties.

A mother from my constituency has tragically died after being given illegal weight-loss injections. These dangerous products are being sold openly, putting lives at risk. The Government must act now to stop this exploitation and protect people. www.itv.com/news/2025-10...

Great to have my friend @@lucympowell.bsky.social in Bolton South & Walkden today chatting with members about what they want in a Deputy Leader. I was proud to vote for Lucy—and even prouder that Bolton backed her! Big thanks to everyone at Farnworth & Kearsley Labour Club 🌹

Over 1 million people are waiting for mental health care, including many in Bolton South and Walkden.
Labour is tackling the crisis with a new Mental Health Bill that modernises laws, strengthens patient rights and ends the use of police cells for those in crisis.
