Bury North is my family’s home town I want for your family everything I want for mine Across our town we play by the rules to make ends meet We know its tough We know many more have it even tougher Our country is going backwards After 14 years of this Tory government, what works? What’s got better? Families are struggling with the cost of living crisis Ordinary working people, hammered with the highest taxes in 80 years Public Services have become Public Struggles The NHS is in crisis, waiting times are up, getting a GP appointment gets harder People are hard up, fed up but we mustn’t give up My faith in our town remains We need an MP that unites One that champions you and our town More money in your pocket Public services back on their feet, fit for the future Our schools need investment, and a plan for every child Children with special educational needs need specialism and real educational care Bury businesses need backing not burdening, whether they’re start up or scale-up The green jobs of the future must come to Bury first We must take back our streets from anti-social behaviour and crime Labour has changed and is ready to change Britain To make everyday life better for everyone To raise the floor on which we all stand You know I am on your side Together, we: Saved the walk-in centre; Funded our Hospice; Got the country behind saving Bury FC I’ve secured life-saving drugs for Bury families on the NHS; Championed local jobs; And I’m still fighting the inequalities in education Let’s move forward after these damaging Tory years Bury and Britain needs change, not more of the same It’s a clear choice between a changed Labour Party and the same old Tories We can build a better future It’s time for a fresh start Bury and Britain needs change I am change Bury North can trust And I am determined to deliver it, so that everyone of us can thrive. #ChangeYouCanTrust

It was an honour to meet King Charles III today at Buckingham Palace, with fellow newly elected MPs and enobled Peers. He was thoroughly charming, and so attentive to a room of us each hoping for a brief audience with. I love my country and think our heritage and royal family are a hugely valuable asset for our nation’s economic, social and cultural capital 👑🇬🇧
