Today I attended the North Manchester Health Fair at Khizra Mosque in Cheetham Hill.

It was a great opportunity to get free health checks, health advice, and information from a variety of healthcare professionals. 👨‍⚕️

RT @McrLabour: Cllr @RabnawazA, Executive Councillor for Resources & Finance, is speaking on Manchester Labour’s 2023/2024 budget. Outlining the context of this budget, with an illegal war on the continent & 13 years of Tory & Lib Dem cuts, Labour-run Councils are under attack by Tory cuts. 🧵

Insightful session yesterday with @RNID and @AlzResearchUK leaning about the link between unaddressed hearing loss and dementia. It is so important that people get their hearing checked.

Labour will invest in our NHS workforce, instead of keeping a tax break for non-doms.

The next Labour government will train a new generation of doctors, nurses, and midwives to treat patients on time again. 👇🏾

Households across the country have struggled with skyrocketing energy bills.

The Government has repeatedly U-turned on onshore wind when they could have saved households £150 each.

This Government is not only stalling net zero, but letting families pay the price.

A huge thank you to campaigners from Two Billion Strong for meeting with me this afternoon.

Many Muslim countries face the biggest impact from climate change.

As Muslims, we must talk about the impact of climate change and what we can do as individuals to make a difference. 🌍

Over the last few weeks, I've spoken to students in my constituency who are deeply worried about the impact of the Tory cost-of-living crisis, as well as their concerns about accomodation on- and off-campus.

I raised both with the Minister today in the House of Commons 👇🏾
