Congratulations to Prime Minister Andy Burnham on entering 10 Downing Street. I’m proud to have supported Andy during his 2015 Labour leadership campaign, and it is wonderful to see him reach this historic milestone.
For too long, we’ve been told that ending rough sleeping will take decades or even that it's impossible. I'm not having that.
This is something a government can fix if it chooses to. Today, I’m choosing to.
The Passage are an organisation leading the way on this - I was proud to chat to their team this morning.

I’ll fight to make sure everyone shares in the success Greater Manchester is building - making sure there’s more money in people's pockets, pride in every town centre with a New High Streets Fund, a new generation of council and affordable homes and an expanded Bee Network that freezes fares and that works for all of us. 🐝 🌹

Congratulations, @AndyBurnhamGM, on being elected Labour’s new MP for Makerfield.
The people of Makerfield chose Labour’s positive message of hope and optimism over the politics of division and hate.
Labour is ensuring that Britain is at the forefront of the technology revolution, but the best interests of working people will always be at the heart of every decision we make.
The horrific attack in Belfast last night is sickening.
I have absolutely no tolerance for abhorrent scenes of violence like this on our streets.
My thoughts are first and foremost with the victim, and I thank the first responders, including members of the public who intervened.
