I have NEVER been prouder of my MP than I am of @anncoffey_mp today.

She has shown great courage and stood by her principles and that deserves nothing but our respect today

I know that Ann will continue to serve our town and Greater Manchester with her same vigor and skill.

Terrible to see the Bomber Command memorial in London’s Green Park vandalised with white gloss paint overnight.

This is the fourth (& worst) time the memorial has been targeted in the past six years.

@RAFBF says it is “shocked & saddened” by the episode

[Community UK @TheCommunityUK]

It may make more sense to reduce the service so that it only operates during hours that it is busiest. This would mean more cuts need to be made in other areas though. Please fill in the consultation with your own views.

One Council proposal is to cut the free Metroshuttle bus service around #Stockport. There is a public consultation open about it now at this link: https://t.co/t69Tztvxi8.

You can also find more details at this link: https://t.co/yEWSeyt3Sc.

The document shows that the bus has nearly double the amount of passengers that they first expected. They admit that cutting the service may impact local businesses and goes against their town centre strategy.

Great news this weekend! The #Stockport Local Assistance Scheme, which helps those most in need locally, now won't be cut altogether in April

[Community UK @TheCommunityUK]

Merry #Christmas! We'd like to thank you all for your support this year. We've had a brilliant few months after we launched, we couldn't be happier.

Thanks again and see you in 2019 for plenty more from Community!

"If we aren’t careful, an all-consuming, dishonest Brexit could leave us with little to take back control of."

@DanielOliverSK uses his weekly blog to say more honesty is needed from all sides about #Brexit.

1/ @StockportMBC has already made cuts to our Local Assistance Scheme, which supports those most in need, but now it is planning to remove the Scheme altogether.

Many other services have been cut and the Scheme is a last resort and safety net for people in emergency situations.

Great to meet founders of the brand new @TheCommunityUK party to share @WEP_UK’s #NickablePolicies to make #Stockport a more equal place for all - thanks @JFeetzz @DanielOliverSK #DoingPoliticsDifferently

[James @JamesEFeetham]

It was really great for myself & @DanielOliverSK to meet @YorksMixture79 & Diane Coffey of @wep_stockport tonight.

Safe to say there is a mutual feeling from us all about putting #PeopleBeforePolitics and adopting #NickablePolicies in #Stockport! 👍🏼
