📸 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!

That’s the difference a Labour Government is making!

🎄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! 😊

🩺 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 👏🏻

11 billion wet wipes are used every year - this Labour government is taking action to clean up our waterways 🐟

November 19 is #internationalmensday, a day when the focus is on the issues that affect men’s physical health, like prostate cancer; men’s mental health - suicide is one of the biggest killers of men under 50; the role of dads; through to loneliness in old age.

There may also be Fake News AI Generated video footage of the MP for Gorton & Denton attempting to Asian dance. I’ll sue!

Just popped into the Christmas Fair at Christ Church, Denton. I always get a warm and friendly welcome

It was nice and busy with plenty of stalls to look at. Oh and I recommend the cake stall!! 🧁

🎨 A pleasure to join Friends of Mauldeth Road Station, for the unveiling of two murals on the rail bridge.

They’re the work of brilliant local artist Caroline Coates & depict the wildlife in nearby Ladybarn Park. It really brightens up Mauldeth Road. Well done to the Friends Group and all involved👏🏻

🎄 It’s great when local businesses get into the Christmas spirit… The Local Lounge in Denton has certainly pulled out all the stops and set a very high bar this year.

Well done for making the old Post Office look so festive. You’ve definitely upped the Christmas spirit ante this year! 🎅🏻

I was proud to support Labour’s Employment Rights Bill - which is now law - because the measures will create a fairer working environment for everyone.

Here’s just 4 simple measures that’ll make a BIG difference…

Thanks. My pride and joy. Already had an A500 but picked this beauty up from Comet at £150 in late 1992 (glad I did now)… it’s now running KS 3.1, has 10MB (2MB chip), and 3.25 ROMs. Mainly use GOTEK but have a good CD collection (combination of originals and burnt CDs) and all my A500 floppies.

Thank you to Shiraz Haider for showing me around Open Kitchen, a charity organised by Muslim Hands UK, including the new kitchen facilities recently installed here.

So far 71,800 hot meals have been distributed to those living in food poverty in south Manchester.

👦🏼👧🏻👧🏾 I’ve been thinking more about the shocking statistics on child poverty which were identified by the HoC Library

48% of children are living in poverty across Gorton and Denton but this ranges from 73% in Northmoor to 5% in Shirley Park
