We're horrified to hear the news of this attack today, especially on Yom Kippur. Our thoughts are with the victims of today's attack and Manchester's Jewish community. Manchester is no place for hate, and we stand united against it.

We're spending 2025 building and training more ward campaign teams, candidates and lead campaigners. There's never been a better time to join and get involved. libdems.org.uk/join-local

So far these elections are saying that where the Lib Dems have the capacity to fight, we do and we can win. But we don't have the capacity to fight everywhere (and can't rely on the media). If in 2026 you don't want to see a repeat of the rise of Reform in Manchester, now's the time to join us.

Excellent to see @alangoodld.mcrlibdems.uk supporting visitors to our city like Zoe in tackling unfair parking tickets and confusing signage vm.tiktok.com/ZNdFkcBBP/

I hate to say "we told you so" but we've long pointed out that this scheme made no sense, it's a new fossil fuel powered power station right in the city centre.

I have finally been given a date for the Great Ancoats Street crossing to be finally completed and brought into use - Tuesday 19th November. It's taken far too long to complete this crossing, especially as back in February the council thought it had already been completed.
