Tom Morrison MP

News of a Gaza ceasefire brings hope after devastating months of violence. Hostages must come home, aid must get through, and this must be the first step towards lasting peace. The UK and our allies must do everything to ensure this holds.

Two years on from the horrific October 7th attacks, we remember the victims, stand with their families, and call for the release of all hostages.

Antisemitism has no place in Britain, we must stand united against hate.

Until there is information from the authorities it would not be appropriate to speculate as to motive.

Shocked by today’s attack on Heaton Park Synagogue in North Manchester, on Yom Kippur of all days. My thoughts are with the victims, their families & our Jewish community. I’m in touch with police & council to ensure Cheadle’s Jewish community has the support it needs.

Good luck to everyone in Cheadle getting A-Level, BTEC or T-Level results today! 🎉 You’ve worked so hard & shown real resilience. Whatever your grades, this is just one chapter in your story – many paths lead to success. You’ve got this 💪 #ALevelResults #resultsday2025

🚨 Gaza is on the brink of famine.

Bombardments continue, civilians are displaced, and aid is still being blocked.

This is a humanitarian catastrophe, and the world must not look away.

I’ve sponsored a motion in Parliament to recognise the bravery of UK-based medics in Gaza.

Charities like @MedicalAidPal, @MSF_uk, Glia & the @BritishRedCross are saving lives in the most dangerous conditions.

They deserve our respect – and our support. 🏥🇵🇸 #Gaza

Yesterday I joined the f40 group in Parliament to discuss urgent SEND reforms and fairer education funding.

Stockport is among the worst-funded areas — that must change. We need bold reform, not tweaks, so every child can thrive.

#SEND #FairFunding #Stockport

Today I spoke out against the Government’s unfair welfare cuts, which will push thousands into poverty. Amy, Joan, and so many others deserve better. I’ll be voting against this Bill.

Yesterday, I delivered our 6,123-strong petition to 10 Downing Street, demanding urgent action to save Stepping Hill Hospital.

Our community is united—and I won’t stop fighting until the Government listens.

Tom Morrison: It’s time to get Cheadle’s train station back on track Cheadle’s new train station has funding and planning permission – so why the delay? Tom Morrison MP calls on the government to stop stalling and get the project moving, for the sake of local commuters...

🚆 Cheadle’s new train station has funding, planning permission & public support. So why is it still delayed?

I’m calling on the Govt to stop stalling and get this vital project moving. Our community deserves better.

Safe sleep standards in early years settings - Early Day Motions - UK Parliament That this House expresses its heartfelt condolences to the family of nine-month-old Genevieve (Gigi) Meehan, who tragically died in May 2022 while in the care of a nursery in Cheadle, Greater Manchest...

Over 30 MPs from across parties have signed my motion in Parliament calling for action. But we need more voices.

edm.parliament.uk/early-day-mo...

Please write to your MP. Tell them about Gigi’s story. Ask them to support the campaign: safer nurseries should not be controversial.

I’ve secured a meeting for Gigi’s parents with the Minister responsible for early years. I’ll be there with them – alongside the LullabyTrust – to push for change.

This cannot be another tragedy met with silence.

As a new parent, this story hit me hard. You expect nurseries to be safe – to be a place of care, protection and trust.

We owe it to Gigi, and to every family, to make sure this never happens again.

They’re calling for:
✅ Mandatory safe sleep training
✅ Routine unannounced Ofsted inspections
✅ Compulsory use of CCTV in nurseries
These are straightforward, practical reforms. And they’re long overdue.

Gigi Meehan was just 9 months old when she died at a nursery in Cheadle Hulme. No parent should ever go through what her family has.
Her death was preventable, and her parents are now campaigning for simple, vital changes to keep children safe.

🚊 I questioned Darren Jones MP, Chief Secretary to the Treasury, on whether the new Metrolink extension to Stockport will include Cheadle.

This is a key opportunity to improve transport, reduce congestion, and boost local growth.

Watch my question below 👇

In May, my team and I helped residents across Cheadle with issues ranging from housing to healthcare to pensions.

Constituents always come first — if you need support, please get in touch.

📬 Here’s a snapshot of what we’ve been working on 👇

#Cheadle #WorkingForYou

Delighted to attend the opening of Pear Tree High School in Cheadle Hulme – a fantastic new SEND school for local families. 🌳📚

I pushed hard for this as a councillor, so it’s brilliant to see it open at last. Huge thanks to the staff and Stockport Council for making it happen!

Great to attend the Charities Aid Foundation drop-in in Parliament for the launch of their UK Local Giving Report 2025.

🌟 60% of people in Cheadle donated to charity last year

🏆 We ranked 2nd in the UK for local pride!
Proud to represent such a generous, community-minded place. 💛

1 in 5 in Gaza face starvation. 90% displaced. 50,000 dead. Aid workers are being killed.

This horror must end.

We need action to stop the bombing and get the hostages out.

Suspend arms sales. Sanction extremists. Recognise Palestine.

#CeasefireNow 🎥👇

❄️ I asked the Govt to back councils rolling out warm spaces earlier — with winter fuel support being cut, people face another tough winter.

They refused to u-turn on the allowance or commit any new help.

We need action, not warm words.

On #NursesDay, I want to say thank you to the amazing nurses in Cheadle and beyond.

From Stepping Hill to our local GP surgeries, you care for us with skill and compassion every day.

We must match that with real support, fair pay and safe staffing. 💙

So delighted that all 72 LibDem MPs signed this letter to @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social @ashleydaltonmp.bsky.social asking the govt to back the ME/CFS Delivery Plan with the resources it deserves. May this be a huge encouragement to the ME community and the start of meaningful change. #WorldMEDay

Just met with the Chief Exec of @penninecarenhs.bsky.social, our local NHS mental health trust. They're doing vital work on autism, ADHD, veterans’ care & trauma. But facing huge pressures: 6% cuts, 80 sites, minimal capital.

Mental health must be part of the Stepping Hill conversation.

A historic day as Pope Leo XIV is elected. I send warm wishes to Cheadle’s Catholic community at this moment of reflection and hope.

Pope Francis leaves a legacy of peace, compassion, and unity. May his successor carry that light forward.

This afternoon I represented Cheadle at Stockport’s civic service marking 80 years since VE Day. It was an honour to join the Mayor and meet veterans as we remembered the courage and sacrifice of those who served. Their bravery will never be forgotten. #VEDay80

Great to visit students & staff at Stockport College in Cheadle today. We discussed votes at 16, phone bans, further education, fly tipping & illegal e-bikes. Thoughtful questions & big ideas from a generation that deserves to be heard. Thanks for having me – I’ll be back soon!

Great to welcome Years 8–10 from Laurus Cheadle Hulme to Parliament last week — one of my favourite parts of the job!

Brilliant questions, including on Stepping Hill and the train station. Really encouraging to see such strong local engagement — keep it up! 👏

Raised Heald Green’s parking issues in Parliament after hearing from residents on Finney Lane, Rosslyn Rd & East Ave.

Trust in private parking firms is so low, more drivers are turning to on-street parking — causing real problems locally.

Time for a fairer, joined-up approach.
