Afzal Khan MP @Afzal4Gorton@respublicae.eu

Why? Because @beisgovuk hasn't decided how to do it, despite the scheme being announced by @RishiSunak months ago.

So I wrote to the Minister to ask what my constituents in this situation and struggling with their bills should do.

He said they should ask @ManchesterCAB 👇🏾🤦🏾

This Government continues to introduce false solutions.

Coalmining will not deliver long-lasting jobs, it will not secure the UK's energy future, and it will not benefit the people of Cumbria or the UK.

We need green jobs and locally produced energy. Labour stands by this.
RT @lisanandy: People in Cumbria and across the UK deserve lasting, sustainable, well-paid jobs that power us through the next century.

But instead they are saddled with a short-sighted, una…

Delighted to support my colleague @PutneyFleur's Bill to ban plastic wet wipes.

11 billion wipes used in the UK a year. 90% of those contain plastic. This is harmful to nature and wildlife.

We need to clean up our waterways and this ban will help do just that. 🌊♻️

RT @AngelaRayner: The Tories are spending millions of pounds of taxpayers' cash on a pointless policy to make it harder for people to vote. Families struggling to make ends meet this Xmas will rightly be outraged by this waste of their money. Ministers should get back to reality. #voterID

Labour is a pro-worker, pro-business party, and I was proud today to open one of Longsight’s newest businesses: Howdy! on Stanley Grove.

Howdy! is a unique experience, and its also great to see this building (the former Huntingdon pub) coming back into to use.

There are 200 hundred languages spoken in our city, and so it was wonderful to join friends for the 30th birthday party of M-Four Translations, @ManCityCouncil’s translation service.

I'm so proud that our city welcomes all, regardless of the language, faith or background.

Today is #HumanRightsDay. In the UK or abroad, it is important human rights are respected and maintained for all.

Thanks to @AmnestyUK for having some inspiring people in Parliament from across the world who have all been imprisoned for simply exercising freedom of expression.

Last night I joined the APPG for Dentistry and Oral Health for their annual reception.

Dentist availability and the rising cost of living mean many patients feel forced into dangerous 'DIY' dentistry.

We need a Labour Government who will prioritise health and wellbeing.
