🚃 I’m delighted that after years of campaigning for better transport connectivity for Denton, the Mayor and GM Combined Authoroty have just approved adding the Denton line to Metrolink, linking Ashton, Stockport and Manchester Airport. news.tfgm.com/press-releas...

This morning I’ve donned a green Manchester Central Foodbank bib & spent some time handing out leaflets to customers at Tesco Gorton where Manchester Central Foodbank are collecting donations for the Christmas period. Thanks to all who donated 🙏🏻

💷 Budget measures like the increase to the living wage, £150 off energy bills, freezing transport costs, lifting the two child cap on Universal Credit - they’ll also help lift 6,090 Gorton and Denton children out of poverty. ⬆️

It’s great to see that, alongside measures to improve the cost of living:
✔️ increases in the living wage
✔️ increases to the state pension
✔️ removal of heating bill levies
✔️ freezing prescription charges, rail fares and fuel duty
- this budget will also help lift 450,000 children out of poverty.👍🏻

📸 Artificial Intelligence is both scary and magical. Here, AI has brought Mr and Mrs Brooks back to life (my elderly next door neighbours with whom we shared a back yard when we lived in a terraced house on Ashton Road, Denton).

It’s 1981 but not as we know it!

🎄I know it’s early, but hey, it’s only the outside!🎅🏻

I hope it brings some joy. It’s certainly cheered up a six-year-old (who “helped” me put them up) and it’s made a well medicated fifty-one-year old happy too! 😊

Yet another win for the brilliant @sharonhodgsonmp. Her decade of work on this has paid off for hundreds of thousands of arts and sports enthusiasts.
I was delighted to speak to Richard Quest on @cnn.com about the Government's plans to cap ticket resales and put fans first.

The UK has a world-leading live events sector and fans deserve the right to pay a fair price, as is already the case in other countries that have legislated in this way. 1/2

🩺 Labour is keeping prescription charges frozen for another year, keeping medications under a tenner thanks to the investment the Chancellor has put into our NHS.

🎟️ Labour is making it illegal to resell tickets for live events above the original cost.

Big shout-out to my friend @sharonhodgsonmp.bsky.social who’s campaigned on this for 15+ years to see it become actual policy: MP = massive persistence 👏🏻
