We know we need to go further and faster on the cost of living and give people hope, but we’re seeing real Labour help coming through. (Nice to persuade the audience member on that)

The only way to protect ourselves from oil and gas price spikes is to get off the rollercoaster of fossil fuel markets and onto clean homegrown power.
That’s the mission of this Labour Government.

Great to join my good friend @sadiqkhanlondon.bsky.social and Labour Muslims Network for their annual Iftar.
Good to meet women from across London at International Women’s Day events organised by Labour colleagues in Parliament
This is quite the list of inspirational women from @the-independent.com for #IWD #InternationalWomensDay and I’m proud to be included at number 20…

Reform UK would be a disaster for women. By scrapping the Employment Rights Act and abolishing the Equality Act, Reform would set women’s rights back a generation.
This #IWD, May and beyond, tell Farage and friends to get their hands off our hard-fought rights. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...
The Labour Party has proudly supported more women than ever into the House of Commons. Thanks to our history of positive action, plus quality training including the #JoCoxLeadership Scheme, at the last General Election, 190 @labouruk.bsky.social women were elected as MPs. Tories elected just 29.
This Labour Government is delivering for women and empowering women by halving violence against women and girls, closing the gender pay gap, strengthening women’s rights at work, reforming childcare and improving women’s health.
It was @labouruk.bsky.social that introduced landmark legislation like the Equal Pay Act and the Sex Discrimination Act, family allowances and maternity leave, and the right to request flexible working.
Happy #InternationalWomensDay!
I am proud to be part of a @labouruk.bsky.social leadership team passionately committed to advancing women’s equality, safety, agency and representation.
This thread outlines how far we have come, and what is at risk.
A great visit to The East Manchester Academy today.
Pupils quizzed me on the cost of living, the conflict in the Middle East, social media access as well as my own route into politics.
I also got to see the fantastic work pupils were doing to mark International Women’s Day.
Delighted to be nominated as one of the 100 Women in Westminster #WiW100 by @politicshome.bsky.social @thehousemag.bsky.social.
You can read about the fantastic women on the list here 👇🏻

Enjoyed taking @rachelsylvester.bsky.social on a walk around some of Manchester’s political and social landmarks-talking about the result in Gorton and Denton, school nights at the Hacienda, and women in politics amongst other things. Even after only 2 hours sleep…

I spoke to @bbclaurak.bsky.social and Paddy O’Connell for Newscast today on the result in Gorton and Denton. Listen here 👇🏻

The result in Gorton and Denton is very disappointing. We will reflect, act & continue to learn lessons in the coming days & weeks. Today, I want to thank Angeliki Stogia for her energy & positivity over the campaign, the brilliant Labour staff & thousands of volunteers who worked their socks off.
We are positive going into polling day because it’s only Labour that maintains support across both parts of the constituency.
That’s why we are the main contenders.
It's polling day!
Vote for Labour's fantastic candidate Angeliki Stogia.
Labour are the only party that can stop Reform.
Vote for unity and hope over division and hate.
Don’t look back in anger… on Friday. Only Labour can beat Reform. 👇🏻

Very concerning incident at Manchester Central Mosque. Thanks to the vigilance of volunteers and the action of police a more serious incident was avoided. Those responsible must face full force of the law.
We must root out Islamophobia and Muslim hate and all those who perpetrate it.
Loads and loads of teams out today in Gorton & Denton - here’s a very small selection featuring colleagues.
Gordon Brown is spot on 👇
Making work and housing less secure is bowing down to vested interests not taking them on.
Only Labour can defeat Reform and their anti worker, anti renter policies in Gorton and Denton.
A must read from Angeliki in @theguardian.com as we nearly head to the polls in Gorton and Denton 👇🏻

A fantastic welcome for Keir Starmer in Gorton and Denton today, supporting our brilliant candidate Angeliki Stogia.
The message is clear, only Labour can stop Reform.
My column in today’s Sunday Mirror - a call to Mancs (and others!) 👇🏻 @politics.mirror.co.uk
Please buy a copy of the paper too.
Over 300 activists out today across Gorton & Denton (despite the rain) - here’s a snapshot.
My @politics.mirror.co.uk column online now, and in the Sunday Mirror tomorrow 👇🏻
The choice facing voters in Gorton and Denton; women breaking another glass ceiling; Manchester does the Brits; and how curling has got me hooked www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...
Here’s my reply to your letter yesterday Zack Polanski - a reply that took you three weeks to draft
Gorton & Denton is a constituency of two halves. After thousands and thousands of conversations, the story is clear: only Labour has the breadth & depth to beat Reform.
Voters are increasingly recognising that. See the whole picture 👇
Another big turnout from members and colleagues from across the country in Gorton and Denton yesterday.
