Great to be out on the doorsteps in Makerfield campaigning for @andy4makerfield. Lots of positive conversations. Struck by how much personal support and warmth people have for Andy. 👏🏾👏🏾💪🏾

Clean homegrown power is the way forward ⚡

With over 1 million jobs already supported by the net zero economy, the case for clean homegrown power has never been clearer. It's the best way to drive growth, attract investment and reduce our reliance on volatile fossil fuel markets.

[Ed Miliband @Ed_Miliband]

1/ NEW: The net zero economy is now supporting:

✅Over 1m jobs
✅£105bn in GVA
✅22,000 small businesses

This analysis from @CBItweets is a reminder that net zero is a great British success story. And exactly why this Government is doubling down.

Empowering local communities 💡

Labour is putting innovation funding into the hands of local leaders, giving regions more control over investment in research, technology and high-skilled jobs.

By backing the people who know their areas best, we can unlock growth and opportunity across the country.

[Department for Science, Innovation and Technology @SciTechgovuk]

More power for local leaders 🤝 more jobs in your area

Mayors in parts of England will decide how future investment from the Local Innovation Partnerships Fund is spent in their areas to deliver new businesses and technologies.

🌈 It’s the start of Pride Month!
Wishing the LGBTQ+ community a wonderful Pride Month filled with celebration, visibility, and inclusion.

There are some fantastic events taking place across the constituency throughout the month. Check out @SouthwarkEvents for amazing local events and ways to get involved.

Real progress on road safety in London: fewer deaths, safer conditions for people cycling, and hundreds of lives estimated to have been saved through Vision Zero measures since 2015.

Creating streets where children and families can move around safely must remain the goal.

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

Every child should be able to walk or cycle to school safely, but we know many people are put off by safety concerns, poor crossings or inaccessible streets.

@TfL’s Walk and Wheel Plan will make streets safer and more accessible for everyday journeys.

[Miatta Fahnbulleh @Miatsf]

Great to join @itvpeston this week. Here’s my take on Tony Blair’s much discussed essay 👇🏾👇🏾

[Peston @itvpeston]

“His own analysis… is completely divorced from the reality of what we’re seeing on the ground”

Labour MP @Miatsf says Tony Blair’s essay ignores the ‘political question of our time…the pressure on living standards’

[Miatta Fahnbulleh @Miatsf]

Eid Mubarak to everyone celebrating Eid al-Adha in Peckham and across the country.

As families, friends and communities come together, may this special occasion bring peace, happiness and blessings to all.

[Peston @itvpeston]

Is any Labour leadership hopeful able to deliver ‘change’ as quickly as people want it?🌹

And does the cost of living crisis require radical intervention on food and energy prices? 💷

@Peston will ask Labour MP and former government minister @Miatsf later tonight

Keeping costs down 🚗

Freezing fuel duty will help ease pressure on working people and families already dealing with rising everyday costs.

[The Labour Party @UKLabour]

NEW: We’ve just extended the fuel duty freeze for the rest of the year.

This will support millions of drivers and families across the country.

[Miatta Fahnbulleh @Miatsf]

Big win for Peckham 🏘️

The Planning Inspectorate has rejected Berkeley Homes’ plans for the Aylesham Centre after campaigning by residents, traders, local organisations and the @ACAPeckham.

This victory belongs to the whole community.

We need new homes and investment - but development must work for local people, protect Peckham’s character, and deliver genuine long-term benefit, not just luxury flats.

Now the conversation turns to what Peckham needs next.

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

Antisemitic attacks targeting Jewish people - just for who they are - are abhorrent & have no place in our city.

The Met Police is setting up a dedicated team of 100 additional officers to protect London’s Jewish communities.

Londoners stand together against antisemitism.

🚨 NEW: Andy Burnham’s slogan for the Makerfield by-election will be "For Us"

[Miatta Fahnbulleh @Miatsf]

I am committed to delivering for the people of Peckham

The biggest threat to our community is a Reform Government

I will do everything in my power to stop that.

[Miatta Fahnbulleh @Miatsf]

Delivering stronger protections for renters 🏡

Two weeks since the Renters’ Rights Act came into force - here’s everything you need to know.

[Andy Burnham @AndyBurnhamGM]

I can confirm that I will be requesting the permission of the NEC to stand in the Makerfield by-election.

I grew up in this area and have lived here for 25 years. I care deeply about it and its people. I know they have been let down by national politics.

Ten years ago, I decided to leave Westminster. Why? Because, after 16 years, I came to the conclusion that our national political system does not work for areas like ours. I learnt this fighting its failure to invest in the Wigan borough, for justice for the Hillsborough families and against its treatment of Greater Manchester during the pandemic.

Over the last decade, I have been challenging this failure from the outside and building a new and better way of doing politics. We have built Greater Manchester into the fastest-growing city-region in the UK and put buses back under public control, introducing a £2 fare cap to help people with cost-of-living pressures.

However, there is only so much that can be done from Greater Manchester. Much bigger change is needed at a national level if everyday life is to be made more affordable again. This is why I now seek people’s support to return to Parliament: to bring the change we have brought to Greater Manchester to the whole of the UK and make politics work properly for people.

Millions are struggling and they need the Labour Government to succeed. It has already made changes to make life better for them in its first two years. After this week, we owe it to people to come back together as a Labour movement, giving the Prime Minister and the Government the space and stability they need as the by-election takes place.

I want to recognise the difficult decision taken by Josh Simons and the sacrifice he and his family are making. I have worked closely with him as Mayor on issues like flooding and illegal waste dumping and have seen first-hand how effective he has been. He has put the communities of Makerfield first, made a real difference for them and should take great pride in that.

Finally, I truly do not take a single vote for granted and will work hard to regain the trust of people in the Makerfield constituency, many of whom have long supported our party but lost faith in recent times. We will change Labour for the better and make it a party you can believe in again.
