I don’t believe people want us to plunge ourselves into a leadership election and spend weeks, or even months, talking amongst ourselves instead of working for them. There is also no clear frontrunner. For the good of our economy and our country, let’s just get back to work.

I don’t like to comment on Westminster dramas. I want our focus to be on delivering change for our constituents and our country. However, lots of Bolton residents have been asking about my thoughts on the country’s leadership this week.

My first priority has always been the people of Bolton, and I will put aside any differences and work constructively with the new council to make sure they deliver for our area.

I’d like to pay tribute to all the volunteers and activists who helped knock on hundreds of doors, deliver leaflets, and have those all-important conversations with voters.

The election results are bitterly disappointing, and voters have sent us an important message which we have to acknowledge. We have lost some fantastic, experienced councillors and I want to thank them for their dedication to our town and communities over many years.

Out in Halliwell with Councillor Safwaan Patel who is up for re-election this Thursday. Our Labour councillors are working hard delivering for their communities. Don’t be the reason that ends. Vote Labour this Thursday 7 May 🌹

Defence Spending 2.5% GDP Voted AGAINST
I managed 2.56 miles in 5mins for the annual IPT poppy ride in association with the Royal British Legion - in boots and a dress I might add! As a former employee of RBL, I’m incredibly passionate about supporting them and the work they do for our Armed Forces.
