Renovation work inside Clayton Hall is now underway. These things take time, but it is reassuring that @mancitycouncil.bsky.social and Wardens Ltd are being thorough. Better to do the work properly than rush and face extra costs later.
Thank you both for your help and support. 💪

📺Watch: Trust in politics depends on integrity, transparency and accountability. I spoke on @itvpeston.bsky.social about the need for a full inquiry into Mandelson's actions in Government. Leadership means putting the public interest first, always.

📺Watch: #ICYMI MPs voted overwhelmingly this week to scrap the two-child benefit cap, lifting hundreds of thousands of children out of poverty overnight. On @itvpeston.bsky.social I said the Government needs to get its skates on and sell the policies that actually improve lives.

The Water White Paper is a very welcome step. In Salford there were 11,974 sewage spills in 2023 into the Croal & Irwell. Stronger regulation is right, but after decades of failure post privatisation we must now go further and argue for public ownership.

Better rail links mean real benefits for places like Salford. I welcome the Labour Government’s commitment to Northern Powerhouse Rail, starting with TransPennine upgrades and building towards a new Liverpool–Manchester line, boosting jobs and connectivity across the North.

I spoke in Parliament about global tax justice. Multinationals shifting billions through tax havens deprive our hospitals, schools and care services of tens of billions every year. It’s time for transparency, fairness and change.

Bloody good question!!
Why is a Labour Home Secretary perpetuating this myth in The Sun?
Asylum applications in the UK are significantly below the average for all European countries. The only person helped by spreading this falsehood is Nigel Farage

We’ve lost 260,000 social rented homes in the last decade. If we’re serious about ending homelessness, Councils need the power, funding and freedom to build social homes at scale, homes at true social rent, not unaffordable “affordable” rents.
