Far too many women have been on the receiving end of harassment, abuse and violence for far too long. With violence against women and girls declared a ‘National Emergency’, we need our male allies to stand up and call out troubling behaviour when they see it. #JustDont

BREAKING: I’ve just announced my decision to bring West Yorkshire's buses back under public control! When I was elected in 2021, I pledged to improve your bus services – and this is a huge step forward to creating the bus service that you deserve.

I'm absolutely delighted that Bradford will be the UK’s City of Culture in 2025. Not only is this huge for the fantastic people of Bradford, but for everyone across West Yorkshire. 🎭🎨🎻🎤 #CityofCulture2025 #Bradford2025

At Manchester Piccadilly trying to head back to Leeds following our meeting with @Mark_J_Harper It was all going quite well until staff announced TransPennine had only sent half the train. Just look at the crowds. This just about sums it up.

YOU CAN'T MAKE IT UP: my train from Leeds to Manchester to meet @Mark_J_Harper to discuss rail chaos was CANCELLED. The platform was packed as we all waited for the next. This misery can't go on.

Women and girls should be able to live their lives free from harassment. It’s not banter. It’s not harmless. It’s not okay. #JustDont

As the clocks go back and the nights get longer, women and girls often have to change their behaviour to feel safe. Enough is enough. This evening, we #ReclaimTheNight. Thank you to everyone who came along to demand a safer future for all!
