People,I think I could now officially be considered as ‘cool’. I’ve joined TikTok. 😬🤓🫣🤭

[Georgia Gould @Georgia_Gould]

Very excited to see @bevcraig selected as the Labour candidate for Greater Manchester.

I was in Manchester doing a peer review the week she became leader of Manchester council and she came in with absolutely clarity of purpose around making sure the growth in the city worked for all Mancunians.

She knows who she stands for, delivers on inclusive growth, runs great forward looking public services and loves her community.

She is a fierce champion for Greater Manchester and has the bravery and vision to make things happen.

I am looking forward to going out to campaign for her.

[Bev Craig @bevcraig]

I’m proud of everything I’ve achieved alongside @AndyBurnhamGM to deliver for our region.

I’m standing because I want to go further.

To build on what we’ve done and do more.

To take GM forwards. For us.

I'm standing for Greater Manchester Mayor. I'm standing for us.

[Andy Burnham @AndyBurnhamGM]

Fact check.

[Bridget Phillipson @bphillipsonMP]

Kemi lost her head at PMQs - and afterwards too.

It's not the first time. She's compared me to a Gestapo officer.

I wonder what it is about a working class woman driving record investment in state schools by ending private schools' tax breaks that the Tories hate so much.

[Andy Burnham @AndyBurnhamGM]

Wonderful news. 👏🏻

Many congrats to my dear friend @bevcraig who has done incredible work leading our council, and I know she’d lead our city-region in the same way.

[Andrew Western MP @AndrewHWestern]

Just wonderful news - Bev is an exceptional talent and would make a truly brilliant Mayor of Greater Manchester!

[LGA Labour @LGA_Labour]

Huge congratulations to our Leader @bevcraig on becoming Labour’s candidate for Greater Manchester Mayor! 🌹🌹🌹

[Bev Craig @bevcraig]

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. 🐝 🌹

[Angela Rayner @AngelaRayner]

My huge congratulations go to @bevcraig who will make an excellent Labour Mayor of Greater Manchester. Looking forward to joining you on the campaign trail. 🌹

[Arooj Shah @shah_arooj]

@lennycctv No it doesn’t. You don’t dehumanise people , that isn’t part of territory for any role public or not.

[Arooj Shah @shah_arooj]

How deeply disrespectful and insensitive.

I was honoured to host volunteers and staff from Cedar Park visiting Westminster today.

This amazing community hub in my constituency does brilliant work supporting low income families. I’m so proud to support their work and help ensure their voice is heard.

I know just how hard it is to both hold and leave office, not just on those who held it but all those close to them too, as Keir rightly acknowledged today. He spoke with dignity and duty, and my thoughts are with him and his family.

I was proud to serve as Deputy as he led our party into government. History will remember not just the challenges he faced but the achievements he oversaw. I pay tribute to his record of dedicated public service.

His premiership saw us legislate new rights for working people, renters and leaseholders, invest in a generational boost to social housing, devolve powers to communities, the creation of Great British Energy and Great British Railways, action to tackle child poverty and so much more. This is a record of which any Labour government could be proud.

Labour was elected to change Britain, and as a new chapter begins, we must now redouble our efforts to deliver for working people.

I was born in Stockport, but raised in UNISON.
