Good to see continued support for Withington Walls - and for the new educational resource inspired by their Marcus Rashford mural. A brilliant tool for schools and families, celebrating community, hope and Manchester’s creativity:

We're going to war @mancitycouncil.bsky.social on tackling fly-tipping and the scourge of rubbish in Manchester.
An awful crime when it happens, and our local residents in Old Moat and all over the city want to live in a clean and tidy community.🌳♻️

Gorton is one of the district centres that @manchesterlabour.bsky.social is helping to improve and invest in further in Manchester.
We have delivered a new Gorton Hub that includes a new library, new town square, investment in the market and 100s of new social and affordable homes are being built.🏡
It was brilliant to be in Gorton recently with local Labour Cllr John Hughes to see the recently completed social and affordable homes on Blackwin Street and Vallance Close.
These 7 family homes built on former brownfield and council land will be a great addition for this local community in Gorton.
Housing is a key issue in Gorton and Denton, so it has been good to work with @manchesterlabour.bsky.social local councillors on the delivery of 100s of new social and affordable homes in recent years, alongside a number of landlord licensing schemes to tackle issues in private rented sector too.🏡
I will be sitting alongside Keir Starmer at the PLP this evening as Deputy Leader with my full support.
He & I have been discussing in recent days, & before, how we need to do better to take the fight to Reform (as we are doing in Gorton & Denton) & by showing we are on the side of ordinary people.
📣 The Christie and Buccleuch Lodge, alongside 190 other NHS sites, will save money on their energy bills thanks to Great British Energy.
🌹 That’s the difference this Labour government is making.

I have today been informed that, despite personal assurances to the contrary, the Green party have once again used my image and misrepresented my words on a second leaflet circulated in Gorton and Denton ahead of the by-election. I have now lodged an official complaint with the returning officer.
