Eid Mubarak, Manchester! Best wishes to everyone celebrating Eid al-Fitr. #EidMubarak #EidAlFitr #EidAlFitr2026

Pleased to move a motion on Standing up for Renters @ManCityCouncil today as the transformational Renters' Rights Act comes into force from 1st May 2026. Good to also answer questions on new social housing in Ancoats, West Didsbury, Higher Blackley, and at Wythenshawe Civic.🏡🌹

Good to get out with @gmpolice this morning on one of their regular Anti-social behaviour action patrols across the city centre with a focus on Piccadilly Gardens 👇🏼

More money from government, means more good we can do in our city. From more money to clean our streets, invest in services, build social housing, expand our libraries, do up our high streets, free gym for 11-16s & vets… Lots to do improve our city 👇🏼

We have BIG plans for Moston Lane. It's one of our focus areas for high street investment, and while some smaller projects were done last year, we are now looking forward to a major transformation in this community Find out more: orlo.uk/tzJxt

We want a city that puts women at the heart of everything we do. One that every woman and girl can thrive, feel safe and achieve their potential. This #IWD2026 let’s celebrate our strong female role models across the city 💪🏼

The Council has approved £1 billion budget for the first time to 'improve Manchester' after 14 years of Government funding cuts. 🌆🐝 Read all about it here👇themanc.com/news/council-a…

Today @McrLabour passed our budget to make Manchester even better. More cash for support, cost of living, parks, cleaning the streets, cctv to catch flytippers, high streets, free swimming and gym, cash for community groups and much more. The difference Manchester Labour makes

Tomorrow we lift the 9.30am restriction on bus passes, letting older and disabled people travel whenever they want. It was good to thank the GM Older and Disabled People’s Panels for pushing for it. A positive change powered by the people - exactly how politics should work! 🙌🏻

A bigger budget to meet Manchester’s needs.

Great to see coverage of just one of our budget commitments ahead of Fridays @McrLabour budget - young people asked… we listened 🏃‍♀️ 🏋️‍♀️ manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-m…

Council Leader speaks to Manchester's Muslim communities today following an incident at the Manchester Central Mosque last night.

There is a live police investigation into the incident last night at Victoria Park Mosque and an increased police presence to reassure communities I know this will create deep distress, especially during the holy month of Ramadan. There will be official updates via @gmpolice

Hoping for an afternoon of peaceful, legal and respectful protests from everyone. And @gmpolice will be out in force to keep the city open, safe and peaceful.

Manchester is open for business today. Plenty of people are out shopping, eating, drinking and enjoying everything our fantastic city has to offer. We have a number of protests today, Manchester - look out for each other and be kind ❤️ Debate should never lead to hate.
