Our new Prime Minister: @andyburnham 🇬🇧👏
Politics needs a reset, and Andy has been proving for years that there’s a better way to lead. His leadership, vision and approach are exactly the change this country needs.
A new era starts today!

Labour’s initial response to the treatment of Gaza caused huge hurt. We got it wrong and I am sorry for that.
A fantastic day at Victoria Park in Denton celebrating Armed Forces Day! 🇬🇧❤️
Armed Forces Day is an opportunity to recognise and thank the courageous men and women who serve, and have served, our country with dedication, professionalism, and selflessness.

Honoured and humbled to have been elected as the Labour Councillor for St. Peter’s Ward last Thursday ❤️🙏

The UK's decision to recognise the State of Palestine was a historic moment – 75 years in the making.
On the first day of Ramadan, the Minister for the Middle East @HFalconerMP visited the Embassy of Palestine.

Festive spirit and community warmth have been in full supply in Ashton-under-Lyne.
St Peter’s Community Gathering has hosted its annual Christmas Dinner and Afternoon Party for senior citizens.
The much-loved event took place on Tuesday, December 9, at West End Methodist Church on Trafalgar Square, bringing local residents together for an afternoon of food, music and companionship.

I am appalled by this attack on a mosque last night. We must unite in these times and stand strongly against hate, division and attacks on our communities.
Appalled by the disgusting arson attack on Peacehaven mosque last night. That there were no injuries is purely by chance.
I have spoken with @sussex_police this morning, and I’m very grateful to them and @EastSussexFRS for their response.

I am horrified and appalled at the attack on worshippers at a synagogue in Manchester, on the holy day of Yom Kippur.
My thoughts are with the victims and their families.
I am speaking to local police about the safety of constituents and urge everyone to follow their advice.
As always, it was an honour to attend the Labour Friends of Palestine & the Middle East Annual Reception at the Labour Party Annual Conference.🙏
The Ambassador of the State of Palestine 🇵🇸, His Excellency Dr. @hzomlot, delivered a powerful and deeply moving speech.❤️👏
At Labour’s Conference in Liverpool: Last week Britain ended a 108 years denial of Palestine. This week Labour ended the denial of genocide.
Thank you to Labour members for backing the UN finding that Israel is committing #Genocide in Gaza and calling for comprehensive sanctions and an arms embargo — now party policy.

As Chair of Ashton-under-Lyne CLP, I’m proud to support @LucyMPowell for Deputy Leader.🤝
Lucy will strengthen Labour’s connection to its roots, help build a better political culture, and be a powerful Northern voice.❤️🌹
Really grateful to members in Ashton-under-Lyne CLP for their support in the Deputy Leadership campaign.
I'll be a campaigning Deputy Leader, focused full-time on supporting our members, affiliates, unions and communities, bridging our movement and government.

On #WorldPeaceDay2025, the UK Government officially recognised Palestine as a state
🌍🕊️
As @hzomlot reminds us: "Peace can only be built on the foundation of justice. Until the world recognises Palestine as a state, there will be no peace, only a prolonged injustice."🇵🇸
