An absolutely spectacular day of community 🧡 thank you to everyone who came, helped & chatted.
#CommuniTeas for community welcome of refugees is a lovely campaign I am a bit proud 🥰
After 42 yrs, today was my last in Commons. It’s been indescribable privilege to represent C’well & P’ham. So grateful to my constituents, colleagues and all who work in Commons. Best wishes to MPs on those green benches from July. The future of our country is in your hands!
Congratulations to
@DebbieHilal . Who has just been re-elected as Councillor for Didsbury west ward. With 2379 votes . Thanks to everyone who voted and supported the campaign. Debbie will represent everyone in the ward .
I am over the moon with the result today. I've served Piccadilly Ward, my home, for these last few years, fighting day-in and day-out to improve our neighbourhoods, and this result today is a true reflection of the work we've all done together. There is so much more to do, and this result is a huge mandate for me to crack on with the job and fight for a better city centre 🌹
I'd like to thank the Manchester Labour Party for your fantastic help and support. Specifically I'd like to thank Bev, Tom, Joanna, Darren, Andy, Shelley, Sam, Adele, Anthony, Marcus, Felix, PJ, and Filly.
I'd like to thank my partner Ryan who has been incredibly supportive during the election process. I'd also like to thank my family - Mum, Dad and Nanna for your unwavering support.
I'd like to thank the phenomenal local members, with a list too long to mention, who were the real hero's of this campaign. They delivered literature, knocked on doors and got voters out to the polls. Without you, this result wouldn't have happened - so thank you so much!
Finally, I'd like to thank the Manchester Council staff. They conducted this election, like every election, with rigour and care that every candidate is appreciated of. Thank you for that amazing support.
The work continues. Long live the Socialist Republic of Piccadilly 🌹🐝
The latest polls show that it’s very close between Labour and the far right Conservative candidate.
I will be voting for Sadiq to keep school meals free, freeze TfL fares and increase investment in social and affordable housing 🏡
Productive session out for @CllrAzharAli in Rochdale today (well in Healey) with @JonConnorLyons & @LabourNorthWest . Great views of Manchester Central too
We don’t know the details of this case yet, but we know a man came to us seeking sanctuary.
We had every ability to help him, but we put him on a barge instead as a symbol of our cruelty and hostility to people like him.
We know our asylum system is designed to kill hope.

UK Supreme Court: The Court of Appeal was RIGHT
RWANDA IS NOT A SAFE COUNTRY FOR THE UK TO SEND REFUGEES.
In other words - decency has only gone and bloody won it, lads.
5 years ago Milton Keynes was dubbed ‘tent city’ by the media. Today, no one needs to sleep rough on our streets. How did we do it? A thread by the Cabinet Member responsible 👇

Introducing A TASKMASTER BIRTHDAY
My gf asked to be the @Taskmaster for her birthday. I may have gone a bit overboard.
This has been a herculean effort from a lot of talented people to have a laugh and raise some cash for @StChrisHospice.
