The UK's decision to recognise the State of Palestine was a historic moment – 75 years in the making.
On the first day of Ramadan, the Minister for the Middle East @HFalconerMP visited the Embassy of Palestine.

It was a privilege to join hundreds across Tameside and pay tribute to the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. 🇬🇧❤️
We will remember them.

#thankyou to all my colleagues, friends and respected members of the public who came out over the weekend to support my campaign.🙏

I am appalled by this attack on a mosque last night. We must unite in these times and stand strongly against hate, division and attacks on our communities.
I am horrified and appalled at the attack on worshippers at a synagogue in Manchester, on the holy day of Yom Kippur.
My thoughts are with the victims and their families.
I am speaking to local police about the safety of constituents and urge everyone to follow their advice.
As always, it was an honour to attend the Labour Friends of Palestine & the Middle East Annual Reception at the Labour Party Annual Conference.🙏
The Ambassador of the State of Palestine 🇵🇸, His Excellency Dr. @hzomlot, delivered a powerful and deeply moving speech.❤️👏
At Labour’s Conference in Liverpool: Last week Britain ended a 108 years denial of Palestine. This week Labour ended the denial of genocide.
Thank you to Labour members for backing the UN finding that Israel is committing #Genocide in Gaza and calling for comprehensive sanctions and an arms embargo — now party policy.
As Chair of Ashton-under-Lyne CLP, I’m proud to support @LucyMPowell for Deputy Leader.🤝
Lucy will strengthen Labour’s connection to its roots, help build a better political culture, and be a powerful Northern voice.❤️🌹
Really grateful to members in Ashton-under-Lyne CLP for their support in the Deputy Leadership campaign.
I'll be a campaigning Deputy Leader, focused full-time on supporting our members, affiliates, unions and communities, bridging our movement and government.
Yesterday, I attended the Healthy Check-In at Masjid-e-Hamzah (Ashton).
A huge thank you to @TamesideCouncil and the @BeWellTameside team for bringing this initiative to St Peter’s. Your efforts are truly appreciated by local residents.💙👏

This morning, I attended the internal PACT meeting for St. Peter’s ward.
A big #thankyou to the @GMPTamesideUK Neighbourhood Team for St. Peter’s Ward, your ongoing dedication and hard work are truly appreciated. 👏

On #WorldPeaceDay2025, the UK Government officially recognised Palestine as a state
🌍🕊️
As @hzomlot reminds us: "Peace can only be built on the foundation of justice. Until the world recognises Palestine as a state, there will be no peace, only a prolonged injustice."🇵🇸
It’s World Peace Day and it’s so lovely to see different representatives of our community come together in this video to share a message of unity, harmony, respect and peace.
Thank you 🤍
Yesterday I had the privilege of volunteering for the @BatonOfHopeUK tour as it passed through Tameside. Huge thanks to @tasfund for bringing this historic and much need event to #tameside ❤️🙏
