I am honoured and humbled to have been elected by the people of Wrexham as their MP.
Thank you to all those that voted and campaigned for me.
Now it's time to start the work to deliver the change that people are desperate for, and the brighter future that Wrexham deserves.
This is an absolute disgrace.
A
@UKLabour
government would end fire and rehire for good.
The Tories promised to end it but never did - as usual they failed to deliver what they promise.
I will support workers at Oscar Mayer and work with
@unitetheunion
to fight this outrage.
🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨
Wrexham ready meal maker, Oscar Mayer, disgracefully plan to fire and rehire workers to slash wages by £3237 a year.
@unitetheunion
will not tolerate this thuggish behaviour and our members will receive their union’s maximum support.
Finally the general election everyone has been calling for is now happening on 4th July.
Time to bring to end 14 years of Tory chaos and elect a UK Labour government who are ready to serve the public and deliver the change we all need.

⚠️Last night, Sarah Atherton, Tory MP for Wrexham, voted to sack nurses.
The UK Tory Govt should negotiate to end these strikes, not legislate. Their failure to get around the table has made matters worse.
Agree? Sign this petition & have your say ✍️
Those 7 MPs should be ashamed as should the 280+ who didn't vote at all. And where was our PM hiding? He promised a government of integrity and honesty but couldn't even be bothered to show up to vote for his own pledge.

Green energy is the future. Cheap, clean, and in Wales we have huge reserves of it. This will provide the highly skilled and well paid jobs of the future for young and future generations, and cheaper energy bills.

The Tory Welsh Secretary doesn't even know where Wrexham is? Shows how much they couldn't care less about Wrexham
Time for a new UK government that will fix 14 years of Tory failure and that has let Wrexham down so badly - time for a Labour Government.

The Welsh Secretary should spend less time ranting and more time brushing up on the geography of the country he represents in government.
I can't believe I have to say this, but
#Wrexham
needs a government that knows where it is!
Good news for Wrexham - maybe?
But given the Tories terrible track record on delivering their promises - will it ever really happen?
This just replaces the 300+ jobs Wrexham lost when the Tory government closed the HMRC offices here just 3 short years ago.

The impact of the Tories disastrous mismanagement of the economy over the last 13 years continues to get worse for people in Wrexham and across the UK.
The Tories won't fix the mess THEY'VE made - their time is up and only a Labour government will sort this out.
This is what the next UK General Election is all about.
The answer is - nothing works better in the UK than it did 14 years ago. For the first time living standards will be lower at the end of a government than at the start. That's what the Tories have done to us all.
