Earlier this month, I had the honour of being elected chair of the Ross Connolly Branch of @labour. This covers the Greystones LEA, including my own village of Kilcoole.
Ross was an amazing trade unionist, a historian and also James Connolly's grandson. Hope we do his name proud

Let's just make our tax base even more dependent on a sector heavily invested in an AI bubble that can pop any day. Very prudent 👍

Wicklow winning the Tailteann after I get elected Labour Youth Policy Officer is basically the same as the Knicks winning the NBA Championship after New York elects Zohran. Exact same thing, no difference in scale

In Cork kicking off summer school season with a @labouryouth #Ireland2026eu inspired panel discussion on the many ways EU membership has transformed workers’ rights and working conditions, and the ongoing deregulation drive as the (wrong) route to a successful European economy.

Hard to think of a greater honor than to be considered The Economist‘s intellectual enemy #1.

My work is “intellectual ballast” for the largest number of Americans since 1975 wanting government to “improve the standard of living” of the poor, cut their costs, raise their incomes and stop AI from wrecking society, they say. Dream of an endorsement. Thank you @TheEconomist!

Very cool to get to meet both @jeremycorbyn and @johnmcdonnellMP at @TressellFest yesterday

See you next year for TressellMania V

Suggesting that Irish Nationalists aim higher than just 51% is not disregarding the Good Friday Agreement.

We should be working to sell our dream of a New Ireland to every citizen in the North and South, not just hoping it squeaks over the line.

If every banker, investor and weapons manufacturer lost a fortune due to war, rather than expanded their fortunes, they would conspire to end war permanently. They'd run anti war ads, promote anti war candidates, & hire anti war journalists. We'd all live in peace.

I can confirm that I will be requesting the permission of the NEC to stand in the Makerfield by-election.

I grew up in this area and have lived here for 25 years. I care deeply about it and its people. I know they have been let down by national politics.

Ten years ago, I decided to leave Westminster. Why? Because, after 16 years, I came to the conclusion that our national political system does not work for areas like ours. I learnt this fighting its failure to invest in the Wigan borough, for justice for the Hillsborough families and against its treatment of Greater Manchester during the pandemic.

Over the last decade, I have been challenging this failure from the outside and building a new and better way of doing politics. We have built Greater Manchester into the fastest-growing city-region in the UK and put buses back under public control, introducing a £2 fare cap to help people with cost-of-living pressures.

However, there is only so much that can be done from Greater Manchester. Much bigger change is needed at a national level if everyday life is to be made more affordable again. This is why I now seek people’s support to return to Parliament: to bring the change we have brought to Greater Manchester to the whole of the UK and make politics work properly for people.

Millions are struggling and they need the Labour Government to succeed. It has already made changes to make life better for them in its first two years. After this week, we owe it to people to come back together as a Labour movement, giving the Prime Minister and the Government the space and stability they need as the by-election takes place.

I want to recognise the difficult decision taken by Josh Simons and the sacrifice he and his family are making. I have worked closely with him as Mayor on issues like flooding and illegal waste dumping and have seen first-hand how effective he has been. He has put the communities of Makerfield first, made a real difference for them and should take great pride in that.

Finally, I truly do not take a single vote for granted and will work hard to regain the trust of people in the Makerfield constituency, many of whom have long supported our party but lost faith in recent times. We will change Labour for the better and make it a party you can believe in again.
