Today I’ll be presenting my 10 Minute Rule Bill on Fireworks in the House of Commons.
This isn’t about banning them, it’s about setting reasonable noise limits and giving local councils the powers to enforce against repeated antisocial misuse of fireworks

Today is World Diabetes Day. I’m proud to support @DiabetesUK’s call to #StrikeOutStigma. No one should face negative attitudes because of diabetes – yet 8 in 10 people say they have, and it’s affecting the care they receive. This must change.

Today, on Armistice Day, we pause for two minutes’ silence to remember all who fought and gave their lives for our country and freedoms. I especially honour those from Bolton South & Walkden, and across the UK, who serve or have served in our Armed Forces. Your courage and sacrifice will live on.

Yesterday I laid wreaths in Kearsley and Little Hulton, with Cllr Aalaina Khan laying a wreath on my behalf in Bolton.
It’s important to me that I attend a different service in my constituency each year to remember all those who served, fought and died for this country
