England won. Experience won. Makerfield can win too.

Andy Burnham will walk away from the most cherished job of his life to become MP for Makerfield. That kind of sacrifice is no token gesture. It is a sign, it is evidence, of his true belief in the Makerfield community. All his experience as mayor, as cabinet minister and as MP will benefit Makerfield. He is local too. He lives close to Makerfield. His kids attended 'St Edmund Arrowsmith School'.

'What if he runs for prime minister?' I hear you say. Look a bit closer. If he becomes PM he will still be MP for Makerfield. Makerfield is a constituency fit for a prime minister. Makerfield is a constituency deserving of a prime minister for an MP.

If there was ever an opportunity for Makerfield to elevate itself this is it! It is a once in a lifetime opportunity, a one in a million chance to put Ashton in Makerfield into the history books and give Makerfield a boost into the positive future it deserves. Hindley, Ashton, Platt Bridge, Bickershaw, Bryn, Abram, Winstanley Stubshaw Cross, Orrel... everyone in Makerfield, this really is your moment.

Andy has been walking the streets every day, meeting constituents eye to eye. He has clarity of vision and willingness to listen. He has the drive, the experience and commitment to cut through red tape.

Go Labour. Go @AndyBurnhamGM . This is our Power. This is our house.

Our privatised water system epitomises so many things that are wrong in our society today. People instinctively know they are getting ripped off.

I spoke at the Green Gathering on how public ownership could, among many other things, help renew our atrophied democratic muscles.

"Dirty Business review – if this doesn’t incite righteous anger over our filthy water then nothing will."

Ain't that the bloody truth. If you haven't watched it already do it now, all 3 episodes now available from https://t.co/zCjiz7a9un

Last summer I launched my campaign against outdated “aim-to-permit” gambling laws.

On Hampstead High Street? Not a single betting shop.
In lower-income areas? Flooded.

Councils are forced to say yes. That’s not fair and it’s damaging our high streets.

The fight isn’t over. ✊🏾

[Clive Lewis MP @labourlewis]

If suspected misconduct in public office warrants arrest, what about water CEOs presiding over lawbreaking, sewage dumping & price gouging while taking bonuses?

We preside over a system where services are privatised but accountability isn’t.

That’s simply not sustainable.

One of the best bits of the job is getting to meet brilliant apprentices like this.

Thanks to @nationalgas_uk for bringing Peterborough apprentices to Parliament today.

Together we are working to boost opportunities in the city.

“Pulling the rug out from under children with EHCPs (or who would have them in future) with promises of better support in school in some distant tomorrow won’t cut it. Improved support must arrive first” Common sense from the EPI https://t.co/KselYTyGBp

[Clive Lewis MP @labourlewis]

The Government wants new water laws that lock us into decades of rip-off privatisation - without asking the public.

82% of Brits support public ownership. You won’t get a say.

@Shelter’s Christmas advert is a stark reminder that thousands of families face Christmas without a secure home.

We're determined to change that.

Our new £3.5 billion plan to prevent homelessness, informed by real-world experience, will help to end rough sleeping for good.

Christmas gift giving is a zero sum game. Too much tit-for-tat ends up in tat, that wastes money and fills landfills.

NEW POST: A shocking report by @CerebraCharity reveals widespread ‘systems-generated trauma’ by public bodies that’s breaking vulnerable families who’ve asked for support. In a post for SNJ, Cerebra CEO Jess Camburn Rahmani is calling for urgent action:

Good jobs and opportunities for young people are vital.

Great to welcome DWP Secretary @patmcfaddenmp to the Weston Homes Stadium to open a new Youth Hub - helping connect young people in North West Cambridgeshire with local employers and support.

Promise made, promise delivered. Labour’s transformational Renters’ Rights Bill has received Royal Assent, meaning it is now law.

Proud to have introduced legislation to improve the lives of millions of renters across the country with the protections and security they deserve.

Shout out to all our care workers for the International Day of Care. Most of us will need or give care at some point in our lives yet we don’t value our care workforce enough.

Croydon Council pause EHCP speech and language therapy 'without telling parents'. Parents, please look into judicial review proceedings to ensure your child's SLT as written into their plan is upheld. SOS!SEN and IPSEA have info about JRs. https://t.co/CjSXRMbJlN
