🌹Remembrance Sunday 2026.🌹
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning.
We will remember them.
Lest we forget.🌹

Today, we pause to remember all those who have died in the service of our country, and expresses gratitude to the brave personnel who continue to serve.
We will never forget the sacrifice and service of those who defended our country and fought for our freedom.
Good to help with our campaign launch in Harpuhey today with the @McrLabour team.
Great turnout and positive response on the doorstep for Labour in Collyhurst.🌹
Brilliant to chat to residents who have moved in to the new council homes built as part of Victoria North too.🏡🌳

No one who has served our country should find themselves on the streets or without support. In Greater Manchester too many sadly still do.
I’ve announced a new gold standard of support to change that.
