Every child, wherever they live, should grow up with opportunity on their doorstep. It was a privilege to walk through the door as Education Secretary to start that work.

Most people know, it’s only Labour that can beat Reform in Gorton and Denton. Labour in Manchester is delivering - better buses, more social housing, more GP appointments, more police on the beat. 👇🏻

Andy Burnham has a big bold vision of a country that works better for ordinary people, taking the pressure of family budgets, putting power and agency in the hands of communities. 👇🏻

We won’t out Reform Reform, or out Green the Greens. We’ll be authentically Labour - taking the pressure of people’s lives and rewiring the country so it works for the many not the few. Speaking to Laura Kuenssberg this morning on the BBC.

Water is an everyday essential and privatisation hasn’t worked: bill payers and tax payers are the back stop for failure whilst all the rewards and profits go into private hands. Everyone knows it’s got to change. Speaking to Sky News

Transparency and donations rules for MPs are really important. They exist for everyone - it’s not one rule for Farage, another for the rest of us. It’s vital his failure to declare these further gifts are probed.

Only Labour can defeat Reform in this by-election. A vote for any other Party risks letting them in. Manchester is proud of its diversity. Together we must stand against Reform’s division and hate and elect a local Labour MP who will stand up for the values we share.

The Elections Bill does great things like votes at 16 & tackling foreign donations. It’s also a chance to protect democracy in the digital age. Online platforms play a central role in how people access news, they must accept responsibilities that reflect that influence.

Speaking to Nick Robinson for Political Thinking on Today on why I’m standing to be a full time Deputy Leader - being clear about whose side we are on, being a bridge between the movement & leadership, lifting the 2-child limit, the atrocities in Gaza and telling a unifying story

The only way to protect ourselves from oil and gas price spikes is to get off the rollercoaster of fossil fuel markets and onto clean homegrown power. That’s the mission of this Labour Government. #BBCQT

On Laura Kuenssberg this morning talking about how changing culture is part of doing politics differently, something I know Andy Burnham is committed to doing too.

I won’t take lectures from the Tories on standards in public life. - They breached the rules many times - ⁠Voted to change the rules to get one of their own off the hook - ⁠Had a mates “fast lane” for £m’s Covid contracts - ⁠Lied about breaking the rules on partying in COVID

Today could have been a significant day … it's the last day the general election could have been under Tories. How different things might have been & worse for the country by now if they’d gone on. Thankfully Rishi Sunak called quits and went early. My Business statement today

The Conservatives don’t like to hear it, but we found a £22bn black hole in the country’s finances for this year, which the OBR didn’t know either. We’ve seen what happens when a government is reckless and ignores financial institutions: the economy crashed & the poorest paid the heaviest price. We won’t do that 👇

The stakes are really high in the Gorton and Denton by-election. Manchester gave birth to the trade union movement, home to the suffragettes, grew the coop movement. A city built on equality and community spirit. Only Labour can stop Reform’s Tommy Robinson backed candidate.
