Fantastic weekend of campaigning in Rochdale with
nitter.cz/LabourNorthWest
for the brilliant
nitter.cz/CllrAzharAli
🌹
The message from the doorstep is loud and clear - the people of Rochdale have had enough of 14 years of Tory rule and ruin.

RT by @Afzal4Gorton: Everyone in this country deserves a government that matches their ambition.

Unlike the Conservatives, Labour knows that equality and growth are two sides of the same coin.

Labour’s Race Equality Act will deliver growth that everyone can have a stake in. theguardian.com/society/2024/f

.
nitter.cz/MayorofGM
and
nitter.cz/ManCityCouncil
have an anti-poverty strategy and a number of initiatives to tackle child poverty, whilst the Tories continue to slash public services and offer no support for the most vulnerable.
The Tories have given up trying to govern. Labour won't.

10 schools in Greater Manchester have partnered with
nitter.cz/greatermcr
and
nitter.cz/PupilsProfit
to implement eco refill shops.
This is a fantastic initiative teaching young people about sustainability and encouraging the community to reduce their plastic waste.♻️👇

Today,
nitter.cz/MayorofGM
and I visited
nitter.cz/StMargaretsWR
to greet their ‘Walking Bus’ and
nitter.cz/mppsch
‘Bike Train’🚴‍♀️
It was a pleasure to show my support to all the students, staff, and volunteers involved in these fantastic schemes promoting active travel and helping our environment.

I'm not able to be in Parliament today due to constituency commitments, but I fully support
nitter.cz/KimJohnsonMP
's bill to change the law on joint enterprise.
This bill would enact much needed reform and ensure only those significantly involved in a crime are convicted

In June 2023, I asked
nitter.cz/HuwMerriman
when decisions on Access for All funding for Levenshulme station would be made. The Minister said "later in 2023".
But 2023 has been and gone, but no decision. Now he says it will be in "due course".
Why the delay?

📚 Did you know that World Hijab Day was first celebrated in 2013 to raise awareness about the hijab and combat stereotypes associated with it?

🤝 The MCB supports this initiative to encourage dialogue & foster understanding for Muslim women.

Regional inequality can have the biggest detriment on the young. Over half of all children living in Manchester Gorton live in poverty.
Always good to speak to members of the APPG Child of the North to discuss what more needs to be done on this issue.

I'm pleased that the journalist has apologised after I pointed out the inappropriate & racist framing of the question.
As most UK news coverage of Muslims is negative, it's important we challenge racist tropes where we see them. I'm glad the journalist has reflected on this.

RT by @Afzal4Gorton: Today @McrLabour passed a motion calling for the Government to extend the Household Support Fund. Manchester MP @Afzal4Gorton will be laying a petition in Parliament and @stephenctimms is leading A Westminster hall debate in Parliament.

Time for the Government to listen.

I am delighted that MACFEST is returning this year with the Opening Ceremony on 2 March at Whitworth Art Gallery.
As a longstanding friend and supporter, I am so proud of the initiatives

run which have helped to build cultural bridges and bring communities together.

Great to join
nitter.cz/Shoosmiths
and
nitter.cz/SMPledge
to talk about boosting social mobility in the legal profession.
With only 40% of lawyers having attended a state school, it's vital we break down barriers to create more opportunities for underrepresented groups.

No shame in anyone admitting they had never heard of the first woman in the UK cabinet. No reason not to talk about her now.

Proud to see more Labour councils leading the way in committing to tackling racism and discrimination.
