Afzal Khan MP @Afzal4Gorton@respublicae.eu

Fantastic weekend of campaigning in Rochdale with
https://nitter.cz/LabourNorthWest
for the brilliant
https://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. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/feb/04/labour-plans-extend-equal-pay-rights-black-asian-minority-ethnic-staff?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

.
https://nitter.cz/MayorofGM
and
https://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

and
https://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.♻️👇

I'm not able to be in Parliament today due to constituency commitments, but I fully support

This bill would enact much needed reform and ensure only those significantly involved in a crime are convicted

In June 2023, I asked
https://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.

Great to join

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.
