Good to see Her Honour Deborah Taylor appointed as Criminal Legal Aid Advisory Board Chair.
The Tories continue to stall on implementing the recommendations of their own review into criminal legal aid. Only Labour can fix our broken justice system.

This is deeply worrying and has been warned about for months. It is the result of a government that's given up on tackling the climate crisis and is only interested in a climate culture war with increasingly bizarre interventions.

Re The Tories' failure to deliver this cheap, clean, homegrown power leaves bills higher and our country exposed.
Labour will make Britain a clean energy superpower, cutting bills and delivering energy security for our country.

As Parliament winds down for the summer recess and I head back home to Manchester for a few weeks, here's a round up of the big issues I've been campaigning on this year.
From ticket office closures, pavement parking, clean air &amp; Islamophobia - it's been a busy few months! ⬇️

Re 🍃 I've been supporting campaigns on improving air quality, including @talkcleanairWR 's film on air pollution. Clean air is a fundamental right and I'll keep campaigning on this until the Government take meaningful action.

Re @talkcleanairWR 🚗By refusing to ban pavement parking, as is the case in London, the Government is making our streets unsafe &amp; difficult for people with mobility issues.
I presented a petition to Parliament calling for a ban on pavement parking &amp; will keep urging the Government to take action. https://t.co/8lMs4euwtq

Re @talkcleanairWR ⚖️ As Labour's Shadow Legal Aid Minister, I have exposing the disastrous impact of the Government's brutal cuts to legal aid, which has denied so many people access to justice over the last decade.
The Tories have broken our justice system. Only Labour can fix it. https://t.co/4YMeDX7F4v

Re @talkcleanairWR 🚅 The proposed closure of ticket offices at Gorton &amp; Levenshulme stations will be to the detriment of my constituents.
I questioned the Government on why they are pursuing this against the interests of the public.

Re @talkcleanairWR 🧕 Islamophobia continues to plague British society, but the Tories neglect to tackle it.
I secured cross-party support against Islamophobia, hosted roundtables to discuss solutions &amp; wrote about the impact of the Tories' inaction on stamping out hate.

Re @talkcleanairWR 🚉 Accessibility of public transport is essential &amp; @levystation desperately needs disability access. I questioned the Rail Minister again on when funding will be available for this.
When Parliament returns in September, I'll continue championing the needs of my constituents. 💪 https://t.co/nlfSJWpDCJ
