Today marks 9 years since 22 people lost their lives after attending a concert in Manchester. This horrific attack should never be forgotten and my thoughts are with all those who lost their lives, the survivors and their loved ones today. They will never be forgotten

I've written to Shabana Mahmood to ensure that anyone who broke the law at weekend is prosecuted, the same as they should be in any demonstration that incites violence. A difference of opinion is one thing, but what we saw at weekend went beyond that

For years I have campaigned for better transport links for Bolton. Today’s confirmation of the Northern Powerhouse Rail Bill and Great British Railways is a major step forward. I will keep pushing to ensure Bolton and Salford get the full benefit of these vital reforms.

I welcome the NHS Modernisation Bill announced in the King’s Speech. Here in Bolton South and Walkden, waiting lists have already fallen by over 7,000 with 25,000 extra appointments delivered. This Bill will help secure that progress and go further for patients.

This week is Mental Health Awareness Week. I used to volunteer with the Samaritans. The same people would ring again & again, just wanting someone to listen. That is still what so many people need. Check in on someone today. If you need help: call Samaritans 116 123, 24/7 #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

80 years ago today, Nazi Germany surrendered and the war in Europe ended. On VE Day, we honour all those who gave so much for our freedom. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten. 🌹​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

And thats not all. The two-child limit has been scrapped. Millions of pensioners are better off. Reform, the Conservatives and the Greens voted against every bit of it. When someone asks what Labour are doing, tell them - we are getting on with making lives better
