On International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, we must be clear: digital violence is real violence. Online attacks are rising, silencing women in politics, journalism and activism. There is #NoExcuse. This must end.

I have co-signed a cross party letter calling on the Chancellor to make this year's Budget a turning point. Our tax system asks too much of working people and too little of extreme wealth. [1/2]

Today is World COPD Day. COPD is common but often missed. Early diagnosis saves lives. If you have ongoing breathlessness, a chronic cough, frequent chest infections or exposure to risk factors, please speak to a health professional.

I strongly welcome Salford City Council’s decision to exempt terminally ill people from paying council tax. Nobody facing a terminal diagnosis should have to worry about bills or enforcement letters when they should be focusing on their health and loved ones.

I joined cross-Party MPs in signing a motion calling for the Chancellor to abolish the two-child limit in the Autumn Budget. Ending this cruel policy would lift 670,000 people, including 470,000 children, out of severe hardship and transform lives across the UK.

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.

The Government have committed to consider pre-existing evidence they had not looked at when making their decision on the need for financial redress for 1950s born women due to DWP maladministration of state pension age changes. (1/2)

I’ve written with fellow Greater Manchester MPs to Ministers urging fair funding for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS).
GMFRS keeps our region safe, from floods to terror responses, but faces real strain. It’s time for proper national support.
