Today, 80 years since Auschwitz was liberated, we remember the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust and all victims of the Nazis, as well as the victims of genocide in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur. Those dark days must drive us to build a brighter future. #HMD2025

Happy birthday to the late Ewan MacColl, born #OTD in 1915 in Broughton. His iconic song 'Dirty Old Town,' inspired by Salford's lost slums and chimneys, embodies a fight against inequality and a vision for a fairer society serving everyone—a message as relevant today as ever.

I'm pleased that support will soon be in place to ease any financial and emotional strain for those with children in neonatal care. This will help families focus on what truly matters – their newborn's well-being.

Brilliant question by @JoPlattLeigh on such an important and harrowing issue. We must secure justice for all of our constituents affected and pleased to see many MPs across GM supporting the group.
Today I had the opportunity to raise an important case to the Prime Minister. We need to secure justice for my constituents and all those affected across the country. Watch here📷

Yesterday I was pleased to support the establishment of an Armed Forces Commissioner. This Commissioner will serve as a staunch advocate for our Armed Forces and their families, providing essential support to all those who serve our nation.

Deeply saddened by the passing of 99-year-old Salford veteran Joe Thomas, who served bravely in Operation Shingle at Anzio, aiding Rome's liberation. My thoughts are with his daughter Patricia, family, and friends. He’ll be greatly missed by our community.

(2/2) Alarming statistics and harrowing real life experiences—workplaces must be safe for all. A groundbreaking and worrying report led by academics at Sheffield Hallam and Staffordshire universities outlines the scale of sexual harassment in the workplace.

Huge thanks to Salford Community Fire Station team for making time for my visit yesterday. Inspiring to see the dedication they have for Fire&Water safety, clearly going beyond the call of duty everyday. Great to also see the Scorpion, high reach extendable turret, in action too.
Today we welcomed @RLong_Bailey MP for Salford, as part of our MP engagement sessions. Firefighters carried out drills and used specialist equipment during the visit to demonstrate the vital work they do to keep residents safe.

Packed, oversubscribed debate yesterday on the injustice 1950s women faced in changes to state pension age. This injustice, identified by the women, and an independent Ombudsman can’t be ignored. Govt must urgently work with groups representing women affected to set out a remedy.

Train services will stop running on some weekends in Salford this year while work takes place to upgrade our city’s stations, including building a third platform at Salford Crescent to improve passenger flow and reduce delays. Remember to check schedules before weekend travel.

Tonight I voted in favour of the Renter’s Rights Bill, the biggest reform to renting in 40+ years. This will:.• Ban no-fault evictions.• Limit upfront rent demands.• Protect tenants from damp & mould. #RentersRightsBill
