Trade union activist and socialist who wants to see a smile back on the face of the movement!

As regeneration projects for Birkenhead are falling like nine pins, I want to know why the Council is pulling the plug on the ambitious plans to revive my home town.

Let’s rid our world of nuclear weapons once and for all. Read my full piece for the Guardian here: https://t.co/npBL5TG4vb

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Schools are places of learning, growth and joy. In Gaza, they have been turned into places of trauma, death and grief.

What kind of world are we living in when this kind of horror becomes part of our weekly or even daily routine?

How have we allowed these atrocities to become so normalised?

We must continue to speak up for a ceasefire, an end to arms sales to Israel, and the only path to a just and lasting peace: an end to the occupation of Palestine.

Tonight, Parliament will be dissolved and I will no longer be your Member of Parliament.

Representing my home town in Parliament has been a privilege.

To everyone who's supported me over the past four years - local Labour Party members, constituents, friends - thank you.

[Mick Whitley @MickWhitleyMP]

Democracy doesn't end at the ballot box.

Nonviolent protest is vital to any democracy. And in the UK, it's under attack.

I've tabled my last ever Early Day Motion, rejecting John Woodcock's recent report and its calls for a clamp down on peaceful protest.

I've joined forty of my colleagues in the House of Commons in writing to the water regulator @Ofwat today.

Failing water companies cannot be allowed to inflation-busting price rises on ordinary people while paying out fortunes to private shareholders.

Birkenhead MP pledges support for RFA strike https://t.co/w47AGyXfp8 @MickWhitleyMP @RMTunion

[Mick Whitley @MickWhitleyMP]

This is naked hypocrisy from @grantshapps.

The government thinks that RFA seafarers are vital enough to justify them being denied their right to strike, but not vital enough to pay them a decent wage.

Solidarity with @RMTunion

This Sunday, up to 500 seafarers with the Royal Fleet Auxiliary are going on strike for fair pay.

In Birkenhead, you can support the strikers by joining their picket line at the junction of New Chester Road and Campbeltown Road from 08:30 am.

@paulmasonnews Shameful Paul. Just shameful

[Mick Whitley @MickWhitleyMP]

Natalie Elphicke’s values are not the values of the labour movement.

It’s outrageous that she should be allowed to join the Labour benches while principled socialists like @HackneyAbbott and @jeremycorbyn still haven’t had the whip restored.

I'm enormously grateful to @natalieben for organising this letter to the Home Secretary, calling on the government to allow displaced Palestinians to unite with their families in Britain and for the establishment of a "Homes for Palestinians" scheme.

[Mick Whitley @MickWhitleyMP]

Our millionaire Chancellor doesn't have a clue.

At a time of growing economic inequality, his #Budget2024 will widen the gap between rich and poor - leaving low earners in Birkenhead worse off than before.

And he's failed to deliver a single extra penny for our public services.

This week, I'm in Copenhagen and Brussels with the Energy Select Committee.

Today, we visited the Avedøreværket multi-generation power plant, which is the site of two combined heat and power plants as well as a nearshore wind farm and hydrogen electrolysis station.

[Mick Whitley @MickWhitleyMP]

This is more "government knows best" meddling from a PM who's only seen the inside of a state school for a photo op.

Meanwhile, too many kids in Birkenhead go to school hungry.

Sunak has nothing to say about real issues - like the schools funding crisis or rising child poverty.

[Mick Whitley @MickWhitleyMP]

As a lifelong trade unionist, I've seen first-hand how trade unions make us all safer, more secure and prosperous at work.

This #HeartsUnionWeek, I'm asking anyone who hasn't yet joined a union to find out which one is right for them:

I've written with @MickWhitleyMP to the CEO & Chair of Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust calling on them to make every effort to engage constructively with clinical support workers and @NorthWestUNISON to bring about a swift resolution to the dispute.

[The Traveller Movement @GypsyTravellerM]

Thanks to the MP for Birkenhead @MickWhitleyMP for his address to the participants at Liverpool Connected Communities. It vital that politicians follow Micks example and act as strong allies working with our communities, striving for equity.

[Mick Whitley @MickWhitleyMP]

While my constituents struggle to make ends meet, our multi-millionaire PM has bet £1000 that he'll be able to deport vulnerable asylum seekers, potentially including children, to Rwanda - a country the Supreme Court has ruled is unsafe.

A disgusting new low for this government.
