A must read from Angeliki in @theguardian.com as we nearly head to the polls in Gorton and Denton 👇🏻

Good to see continued support for Withington Walls - and for the new educational resource inspired by their Marcus Rashford mural. A brilliant tool for schools and families, celebrating community, hope and Manchester’s creativity:

Great to see our plans progressing for this further investment in Wythenshawe. Alongside Moston, Gorton, and Withington, @manchesterlabour.bsky.social is delivering improvements to our high streets all over the city, with lots more to come in 2026.🏡🌹🐝

Could Manchester be a model for the UK to kickstart growth? With an annual growth rate of 3.1%, Manchester's economy has performed twice as well as that of the UK as a whole.

Manchester built and completed 791 new low carbon and affordable homes in 2025, including 467 for social rent. The most for 15+ years.

We have a further 1,500 affordable homes on site, which includes 850 new homes for social rent.

Good progress made, lots more to do.

The war fought by raking through bins, closing alleys, and homing cats A big blitz on fly-tipping is underway as council chiefs want to 'at least halve' the practice in a decade. But the war on rubbish requires some innovative methods, like combing through bins and even ...

We're going to war @mancitycouncil.bsky.social on tackling fly-tipping and the scourge of rubbish in Manchester.

An awful crime when it happens, and our local residents in Old Moat and all over the city want to live in a clean and tidy community.🌳♻️

Gorton is one of the district centres that @manchesterlabour.bsky.social is helping to improve and invest in further in Manchester.

We have delivered a new Gorton Hub that includes a new library, new town square, investment in the market and 100s of new social and affordable homes are being built.🏡

It was brilliant to be in Gorton recently with local Labour Cllr John Hughes to see the recently completed social and affordable homes on Blackwin Street and Vallance Close.

These 7 family homes built on former brownfield and council land will be a great addition for this local community in Gorton.

Housing is a key issue in Gorton and Denton, so it has been good to work with @manchesterlabour.bsky.social local councillors on the delivery of 100s of new social and affordable homes in recent years, alongside a number of landlord licensing schemes to tackle issues in private rented sector too.🏡

I will be sitting alongside Keir Starmer at the PLP this evening as Deputy Leader with my full support.

He & I have been discussing in recent days, & before, how we need to do better to take the fight to Reform (as we are doing in Gorton & Denton) & by showing we are on the side of ordinary people.

I have today been informed that, despite personal assurances to the contrary, the Green party have once again used my image and misrepresented my words on a second leaflet circulated in Gorton and Denton ahead of the by-election. I have now lodged an official complaint with the returning officer.

I visited Baguley Hall Primary School in Wythenshawe this week to present one of their pupils, Sam Adra, with a certificate and book voucher. Sam won a competition at our recent local plan consultation event in Wythenshawe. Well done Sam, and thanks for being involved in the consultation.🐝

Great to be back out in Old Moat this afternoon talking with our local residents about the new pedestrian crossings at junction by Old Moat Park, and also the new Youth Centre that will be built this Spring off Yew Tree Road at the depot site. Good to see new roads and pavements on the estate too.🌹

Good campaign session this afternoon in the Manchester rain for Angeliki Stogia in Gorton.☔️

Cold night! 🥶 but a warm reception for Angeliki Stogia on the doorsteps in Gorton last night.

Good to talk with many residents about what the local @manchesterlabour.bsky.social councillors are doing for the community in Gorton, and how Angeliki would be a great Labour MP for their local area.🌹

Pleased to campaign last night for Angeliki Stogia in Longsight ahead of the Gorton and Denton parliamentary by-election on Thursday, February 26th.🌹

Plenty of support for Angeliki and Labour, and rejection of Reform, and the Greens and their opposition to new social housing in Manchester.🏡

Business rates support announced by the Labour government will help back British pubs and hospitality.
