    I’m very proud to confirm that I have applied to be the Labour candidate for Bury North. To win back Bury North, to get back on track for Bury and Britain and resume the good work for those in need and everyone living here. We believe in better. We continue. 🌹#105

    Keir Starmer's reshuffle as Leader of the Opposition has taken many by surprise by the extent of its appointments. With his newly appointed Chief of Staff, Sue Gray, by his side, Starmer's grip over the Labour Party is the strongest it has ever been. It demonstrates an

    Such is the strength of feeling by Lab MPs to input on any deal brokered between @jeremycorbyn and the PM; I’m calling for an urgent PLP meeting tonight after Shadow Cabinet so all Lab MP’s can make the case for our towns, and Labour’s policy of a Final Say on any deal #Brexit

    The Assisted Dying Bill Like many of my colleagues in Parliament I’ve have been heavily engaged in the debate over Assisted Dying. However, this debate is no longer about the principle of assisted dying but the Bill in front of MPs which I and many of my Labour colleagues

    Absolute pleasure to meet one of Bury’s own, @GNev2 last night at @UKLabour gala dinner in Manchester. Brilliant insightful commentary as ever. Welcome to the Labour Party, Gary. 🌹

    News that @Christian4BuryS has joined the Labour Party is good news for Bury. I think he’s shown courage on the important calls in recent weeks. Life in Bury and Britain under the Tories is getting worse not better. Johnson is a charlatan and must go.

    #AssistedDyingBill On Friday, Parliament will vote on the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, a matter of immense moral and profound importance. I came into politics to wrestle with the serious stuff. The big issues. Of life, of living and of dying. Those of you familiar

    Will you stand up for Bury's nurses fighting Covid or just be Boris Johnson's MP in Bury North, @JamesDalyMP? (copy of letter to Daly sent to me overnight from Fairfield nurse fighting Covid)

    Johnson in Bury and Gigg. He was PM when his government let Bury FC get expelled by the EFL. We’ve seen with Chelsea, all that was required was the political will at Govt level to save Bury but Johnson did nothing and now pretends to be part of its resurrection #UTS #KeepTheFaith
