The only party that can defeat Reform is Labour - enjoyed speaking to residents in Gorton and Denton yesterday with @JoPlattLeigh and our brilliant by-election candidate Angeliki Stogia 🌹

My Parliament unwrapped 👇

✅ Before we head into the new year, here’s a quick look at what I’ve been working on in 2025:

🚍 From March 2026, older and disabled bus pass holders will be able to travel FREE at any time on Bee Network buses — with the 9.30am restriction permanently removed. Public transport should be accessible, affordable and fair — and this announcement delivers exactly that.

It was great to visit and help out at Compassion in Action, who do incredible work supporting our community. From presents for local families to food hampers, and fuel vouchers donated by the local authority, their work is making a real difference to those who need it most. 👏

With Labour, interest rates have been cut 6 times.

🚨 BREAKING: The Bank of England has cut interest rates from 4% to 3.75%

Through work with local schools, leading the APPG on ADHD, and ongoing discussions with the Minister for School Standards, I’ve been clear that classrooms must be inclusive for every child. The new funding to strengthen SEND support in schools is a welcome step forward. 💙 📚

School visits are always one of the best parts of this job👩‍🏫 I loved hearing about the brilliant work happening in classrooms and I’ve listened closely to what more we can do for our area, especially the challenges schools are facing. I’ll continue to support in any way I can💙

It’s Save the Children’s #ChristmasJumperDay! 🎄 Today, I’m wearing my festive knit to support @savechildrenuk in bringing joy and vital support to children who need it most this Christmas.

People voted for Labour to change our country. We’re getting on with the job.

Very grateful to the Chancellor for highlighting the #ShutDownDodgyShops campaign. Great to see it getting national attention - a direct result of the work, led by @melanie_onn, @josephpowell and @Phil_Brickell to close problem premises and restore pride in our towns.

Great to be out on the doors with our fantastic Lowton East Labour Councillors. Always valuable to hear directly from residents about the things that matter most to our community. If we missed you, you can still get in touch and share your views any time 🫡

@Nigel_Farage You literally u-turned on £90 BILLION in annual tax reductions yesterday. £90 BILLION. Not sure you should be talking about trust you political windsock.

Fear of racism has come up on the doorstep more in the last few months than during my last 15 years in elected politics. We’re not going back to ‘70s and ‘80s racism - if the majority of decent people speak up. This is our fight. It has always been our fight. And we will win.

BREAKING: This Reform policy didn’t even last 24 hours!! 😂😂😂

Did you know? This is the first UK Bill in history to include the word empowerment in its title. @JoPlattLeigh backs a new Community Right to Buy, giving local people first dibs when vital spaces come up for sale.

We’re proud of the achievements of all our young people. 👏🏻 To help with the next stage of the journey, we’re launching a half-price monthly bus pass for 18 to 21 year-olds from 1 September. 🐝 So aim high and get ready to go as far as you can! 💪🏻

In the first half of this year, the UK's economy grew faster than: 🇺🇸 USA 🇨🇦 Canada 🇫🇷 France 🇩🇪 Germany 🇮🇹 Italy 🇯🇵 Japan That’s the difference with Labour.
