Labour promised to fix an extra million potholes a year by the end of Parliament. This shows we are putting our money where our mouth is:

Loved visiting @LITTLEPLAYERS1 at Westvale Community Centre. Ben & Scott run a brilliant inclusive club and have exciting plans for the future, which includes expanding provision for kids who cant afford to pay.

The Made in Merseyside Part 2 exhibition at Kirkby Gallery was 5 (FIVE) Stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My favorites were The End fanzine display & Road to Brezhnev. This documentary has been nominated for an LCR Award & deserves to win.
I’m going to rewatch the film this weekend.

I joined community legend Carole in Prescot at
Tesco winter food collection. She told me how generous customers are & how this store has high donations. Since collapse of Knowsley Foodbank these groups are even more essential. Thank you to Carole, team & the wonderful volunteers

Really valuable meeting with Karl and Ray from Merseyside Police local policing team today - thanks for the updates on what’s happening in the area. We had a great chat about how we can work together to tackle violent youth crime and anti social behaviour

Scrapping the two-child benefit cap will lift hundreds of thousands of kids out of poverty. 3,310 in Knowsley alone. This is Labour values in action.

The Chancellor has delivered a Budget that shows what a Labour Government stands for.🌹🧵

I’m about to take evidence on the Hillsborough Law.

Today we’ll hear directly from Hillsborough Law NOW, the families, and Mayors Rotherham and Burnham.

It's about listening to experts to make this Bill truly effective. For the 97 and every victim of state cover-ups.

Helped a constituent apply for and receive the Pension Credit they were entitled to.

Last year, hundreds of pensioners in Knowsley secured Pension Credit through the awareness raised by my Claim What’s Yours campaign.

I’ll be running the campaign again this year.

Scrapping the two-child limit will lift three and a half thousand children in Knowsley out of poverty and over 450,000 children nationally.

This is what Labour governments do. 🌹

News from the Lords.

The Greens voted with Lib Dem and Tory Peers to water down the Employment Rights Bill.

I agree with every word from the General Secretary of @usdawunion.bsky.social in this letter
An open letter to Zack Polanski

We hope that Green Party Peers will see sense and commit to backing working people ✅

With our new Neighbourhood Health Centres, you will receive treatment minutes from home instead of having to travel miles to often hard-to-reach hospitals.

This is the difference a Labour Government makes.

The Government has announced plans to make it illegal for tickets to concerts, theatre, comedy, sport and other live events to be resold for more than their original cost.

Half a million more kids will benefit from Labour's free breakfast clubs from April next year - including 14 schools in Knowsley.

These clubs were only available in 1 in 10 schools under the Tories. Labour is making them available for all our children.

I was delighted to speak to Richard Quest on @cnn.com about the Government's plans to cap ticket resales and put fans first.

The UK has a world-leading live events sector and fans deserve the right to pay a fair price, as is already the case in other countries that have legislated in this way. 1/2
