Today, on Holocaust Memorial Day, we honour those who were murdered during the Holocaust and pay tribute to the vital work of Holocaust survivors who educate young people today.
We stand against hate, and strive to deliver a better future.
This is welcome news.
Wishing all those in the Punjabi community in Bolton and across the world a very happy Lohri today π₯ β¨
A reminder to celebrate the triumph of light over darkness and new beginnings π
Itβs International Day of Persons with Disabilities!
And this month is also Disability History Month.
We can all play a role to build a more inclusive, accessible society and Iβm committed to always doing my part.
Thanks to Scope for hosting a great event in Parliament today.
A huge win and a great announcement from the Government today!
This weekend, I joined Ukrainians in Bolton to mark the anniversary of the tragic Holodomor genocide.
The event was held at our local Ukrainian Cultural Centre, which provides a home and a community for so many.
Today and always, I stand with Ukraine. πΊπ¦

I managed 2.56 miles in 5mins for the annual IPT poppy ride in association with the Royal British Legion - in boots and a dress I might add!
As a former employee of RBL, Iβm incredibly passionate about supporting them and the work they do for our Armed Forces.
Earlier this week, several of the team from Boaz travelled to Parliament to meet with MPs and share our recent report (From surviving to thriving: preventing homelessness in Greater Manchester among people recently granted refugee status).

Congratulations to Lucy Powell on becoming deputy leader of the Labour Party π
Iβm proud to have worked with Lucy on the Modernisation committee and know she will steer our party in the right direction, and be a strong uniting voice for our Labour movement.
I held my first "Ask Kirith" event this afternoon, chatting to local residents about anything they wanted to. Community issues were top of the agenda today and how we can make Halliwell safer and better for everyone.
Thanks to those who came along!
Changing this law will save lives and protect future generations.
As a Womenβs Aid parliamentary champion and co-chair of the Labour Violence Against Women and Girls group, Iβm so proud of the action this Labour government has taken.
Claireβs sons, Jack (12) and Paul (9) were killed by their father in a house fire he started 11 years ago this week. He should never have been allowed contact.
It was moving to hear from Claire herself, alongside the choir of children who very bravely performed outside Parliament.
Earlier this week, I joined @womens_aid and campaigner Claire Throssell as the government announced it will repeal the presumption of contact from The Childrenβs Act.
Polls close at 12pm today.
Give me a strong mandate, to be your strong voice making the change our Party needs.

Sending love and light to all π
I never miss the chance to get out knocking on doors!
Thanks to everyone in Bromley Cross who spoke to me ππΌ
Division and racism have no place in our country and no one should be made to feel like they donβt belong here because of the colour of their skin.
I was proud to commend the Prime Minister on his strong stance in his speech to Labour Conference a couple of weeks ago and highlight why a particular party opposite does not deserve the chance to govern at Prime Ministerβs Questions today ππΌ
The war must now be brought to an end swiftly, and every effort must be made to honour those commitments alongside the immediate lifting of all restrictions on humanitarian aid to Gaza.
We must continue to work towards a two-state solution and reaching lasting peace.
Relief will no doubt be felt around the world for a region that has suffered so much for so long, but more so for those held hostage, their families, and the civilian population of Gaza.
Todayβs news of a ceasefire deal is extremely welcome.
I know our Prime Minister and UK Ministers have worked tirelessly to allow us to reach this point, and I commend the efforts of our diplomats who have also worked incredibly hard behind the scenes.
Enjoyed a rare pie lunch at the Kitchen & bar at The Octagon Theatre Bolton β€οΈ
I love being back at home in the constituency and enjoying our amazing food! If youβve not visited the Octagonβs Kitchen and Bar yet, definitely check it out.
Labour's New Deal for Working People will reform our parental leave system, for better maternity and paternity leave. That's why @kirithentwistle.bsky.social is so excited to see it delivered in full.
The attacks today in Manchester, on the holiest day in the Jewish calendar, are truly devastating. There is no justification for this and my heart goes out to all those affected.
We will not let hate, or those who spread it, win.
Happy Rosh Hashanah to all those celebrating in Bolton North East and across the world today.
Shana Tova!
