Strong agreement across the world on today’s UK action against illegal settlements and settler violence that are an existential threat to the two state solution. No one should be profiting from stolen land.
Together we are resolute.

It’s never been clearer: illegal Israeli settlements on Palestinian land are a significant obstacle to peace.
There can be no two-state solution if there is no viable state left to call Palestine.
That’s why the UK Government is right to take strong action and impose a ban on trade in goods from these settlements.
With plans for more illegal settlements - and settlers currently inflicting terrible violence against Palestinians on a daily basis with impunity - it’s heartening to see the international community joining the UK in taking a stand and applying more pressure on Israel to recognise and respect the rights of Palestinians.
Congratulations
"I’m really pleased to have been reappointed by GM Mayor Bev Craig as Deputy Mayor for Safer and Stronger Communities.
I’m grateful for the opportunity to continue working with dedicated colleagues in policing, fire and community safety, and with communities across Greater Manchester. Together, we’ll keep working to build safer, stronger communities where everyone can live a good life.
Thank you, Bev, for your trust. There’s lots still to do, and I’m excited to get on with it."

Excited for delivering more in the days ahead 🤩

This tripe is being put out in my constituency. Canvassing returns are not verifiable, do not constitute a reliable sample, and always weight towards your own Party.
The polls, and the tactical voting organisations, are clear: this is a race between Bev and Reform. The Greens know it too, if this is all they have to stack up their claim.

There is much to do working with the brilliant DWP team under @patmcfaddenmp but I am looking forward to the challenge!

Every child, wherever they live, should grow up with opportunity on their doorstep.
It was a privilege to walk through the door as Education Secretary to start that work.

I said I would give people a bit more breathing space.
Today I’m taking immediate action - cutting taxes on energy bills to put more money in your pocket.
Waseem Hassan retweeted
Andy Burnham has a plan to rewire Britain so it works better for ordinary people with more power in the hands of local areas to shape their futures, and more public control over life’s essentials.
