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.

Huge congratulations to the people of Great Yarmouth, to the candidates for being bold and to all the volunteers, organisers and poster putter-uppers.
And of course, a curtsy to our future PROPER British Prime Minister @RupertLowe10

History made. We won ten out of ten seats, with overwhelming majorities in every single one. Great Yarmouth First, then we Restore Britain. A very special day.

@LoveIsland I think Ciaran is worn down by Nicole taking things the wrong way all the time and he’s had enough generally, Harriet was just on the receiving end of his frustrations

@BristolWater We’ve been running our water for an hour now and still heavily discoloured - any advice?

@baxterjules7 @PaddyM04882466 @BBCNews Jules - adults, drink drivers are more careless. Inexperienced new drivers have accidents that don’t involve speeding. Perhaps you should take up a career in educating teens if you think it’s such a problem rather than being a c*** online

@PaddyM04882466 @BBCNews No I'm just a realist, how many times do cars full of teens crash especially at night, people like you that pretend that that boyracers don't exist or crash are the parents that don't prevent or stop those behaviours.

@Angelo4justice3 @Gerashchenko_en He probably should urge all EU citizens to address their government on this issue, and no further weapons will be sent to the Ukraine. The majority of the EU citizens do not support this war.

@DianneAbacus @DrAseemMalhotra @TuckerCarlson @RobertKennedyJr Same could be said for the church. There are evil and sick people everywhere, get a grip

@DrAseemMalhotra @TuckerCarlson @RobertKennedyJr What's galling most of all about the BBC is that their employees believe their position is so morally superior.
This from an organisation that was the home of Jimmy Saville.

BREAKING :
The BBC have been censoring things that are true on the covid 19 vaccines
‘That’s when you cross into criminal propaganda’
@TuckerCarlson is 100% correct.
People will continue to be maimed & die until the mRNA shots are stopped.
Thank you @RobertKennedyJr 🙏
