Building a more secure energy system should go hand in hand with stronger workers’ rights.

That's why we're introducing a Fair Work Charter, co-designed with the trade unions.

Those who power our country deserve power in their workplace too.

I met with Kanishka Narayan MP to hand in Ark Blake Academy, Oasis Academy Arena and Oasis Academy Shirley Park’s response to the government’s social media consultation.

Policymaking must include the voices of young people.

Does this botch job in Coulsdon neatly sum up Mayor Perry’s facade of progress? What next, murals painted on all the closed shops in Croydon centre depicting happy shoppers?

The last Government cancelled plans to tackle the Croydon bottleneck, causing delays across the network and leaving passengers at Norwood Junction stuck in lift limbo.

Today at PMQs, I raised the case for bringing back the Croydon Area Remodelling Scheme.

If we're going to halve knife crime in a decade, we need to listen to different perspectives.

It was great to hear the thoughts of young ambassadors and school children at @kinsellatrust as part of Knife Crime Awareness Week.

Good to join the Housing Repairs Team for a walkabout in Waddon today, visiting Prescott House, Bevan Court and Fleming Court.

Disrepair to communal doors, overgrown grass, and bin store issues popping up which have now been reported.

🚨 BREAKING: The Makerfield by-election will take place on Thursday 18 June

[Marcus A. Roberts @marcusaroberts]

Hope.

🚨 NEW: Former Green Party Leader Caroline Lucas says she hopes the Greens will “put country before party” and not campaign against Andy Burnham in the Makerfield by-election

[Andy Burnham @AndyBurnhamGM]

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.
