I am proud and humbled to have been selected as Labour’s candidate for Makerfield.
These proud working-class communities represent the very best values of our country and they deserve so much better. It would be my honour to work for them every day, if elected as their MP, to achieve that.
Many people here feel Westminster isn’t working for them and they are right. I am standing to change that and get the voice of these communities heard loud and clear.
I am glad that this by-election has finally put the places that make up the Makerfield constituency into the national spotlight. They have been neglected by national politics for too long. It is a good thing that all political parties are now on the hook to tell the voters here what they are going to do for them.
More than anything, people need life to be more affordable again. As Mayor, I have brought in changes which are helping, such as the £2 fare cap, free bus travel for our 16-18 year-olds and removing the 9.30am restriction from older and disabled people’s bus passes. But there is only so much I can do from Greater Manchester. If elected, I will have a relentless focus on reducing people’s everyday costs and bills and well as securing the investment these communities need.
I have been an elected representative in Greater Manchester for 25 years. Throughout that time, I have fought for the people of the North West of England on so many fronts. I am now ready to bring the whole weight of that experience to fighting for the communities of the Makerfield constituency and would be privileged to be given that opportunity.
@PaulJohnDykes Paul, firstly congrats on a great season & music too. I love Saracchi and what he brings every game but yesterday was different. He wasn't coming off without a victory, 100% up for it.They all were, and all down to MON 🍀Daizen was off the scale, his reaction to scoring was 💚
@geezerbutler@CelticFC Cheers Geezer and good luck for Istanbul. Super John McGinn, Watkins and Rodgers will see yous thru. Plus of course your manager, he's fkn superb 👍
@Official_T4O Fuck up ya thick hun prick, what do you know about rules ? What happened in 2012 ? Why was your team not allowed to play in Europe? Cry more ya tit
Rules say Hearts should be given the title after what happened before the final whistle was blown.
However, zero chance this SPFL has the spine to implement this decision.
Chinese ordered,Louise out with her pals and I’m going to sit back and watch the game.tour in the morning so early kip.enjoy yourselves tonight everyone,I had a great time meeting so many folk on the train on the way back to central.what a day that was,I’ll never forget it 🙏
Remember Hearts players shouting, “Pressure… Big Pressure,” at a 19-year-old Arne Engels last season as he stepped up to take a penalty against them?
Well, that was big pressure today and Engels soaked it up.
What a shame for Scottish football #hearts … nothing exciting or new about #celtic winning the league ..
Everyone can go back to not caring about Scottish football again 💤💤💤💤
Motherwell-Celtic referee John Beaton & his family had to spend last night under police surveillance after his details were posted online.
The SFA have very strongly condemned the “knee-jerk” & “hysterical” narrative surrounding the Celtic penalty award.

@ClydeSSB@Pmacgiollabhain This was a fucking week ago ! Get a grip you sad bastards, we know know you're all hurting, but ffsake this is different levels. Just about as embarrassing as your 'pundits' on Wednesday night
🔊 LISTEN: “Am I lucky that I didn’t get sent off? Probably.”
🍀 Celtic defender Alistair Johnston admits he was “lucky” not to be sent off for his tackle on Rangers winger Mikey Moore ⬇️
@PeterStefanovi2 Maybe because they think/know/hope, that Reform will win and he's out of the picture once and for all 🤷 then of course, the Zionist paymasters may well intervene to ensure a more favourable outcome. After all, he's one of their boys isn't he ?
@SkySportsNews@AnthonyRJoseph Said the bitter bastard that started it all off with his post match rant. He'll have plenty to say tomorrow night when they get pumped
