🚨 | The Combined Authorities (Mayoral Elections) Order 2026 has passed through Parliament.
This means the Supplementary Vote system has returned for Combined Authority Mayoral Elections, and would apply should a Mayoral By-Election be triggered in Greater Manchester.
This Labour government intends to bring facilities staff in-house when their contract ends.
I am proud that this will be the largest wave of insourcing in a generation as we deliver on our commitment to Making Work Pay.
Many of the people who keep our government running- cleaners, caterers, security staff, are outsourced workers. This has meant they can be overlooked and treated differently.
This is not fair and we are ending it.
@embrace new Album Avalanche is OUT NOW.. Buy a copy (lots of beautiful different coloured vinyl and other formats available!) and let's get Embrace to Number One!! #GETNO#OBF#vinyl
We are missing Jo Cox for the contribution she would have made to British public life over the past ten years, but her words still resonate. There is so much we can do to bring communities together and to support each other as we remember the impact of Jo's life.
Really pleased to give a Medway welcome to attendees from around the UK who are at the Corn Exchange (and on the River Medway) for the next two days for the UK Salt Marsh Forum.
Fantastic to hear from @MaryCreagh_ & from experts from around the country.

Pleased to be at the Safer Medway Partnership AGM
Opportunity to say a big thank you to all those working across Medway to make Medway a safer place - lots done lots more to do.
'We have far more in common than that which divides us.'
10 years on the message of my dear friend Jo Cox remains as important as ever.
The world is a fairer, kinder place because of her legacy.
Great to open Intrafest with Mayor of Medway - something for everyone in the heart of the community.

Today @medway_council is flying the Medway Council flag at half mast as the community comes together to celebrate the life of Councillor Phil Filmer.
My thoughts continue to be with Phil’s family, friends and all those who knew him.
