Fantastic, brave speech from my ward colleague Cllr Angela Gartside on the motion on making Manchester more accessible for people with disabilities. She spoke about her own experiences of living with a stoma following cancer treatment. Motion was carried.

Passed another amended motion on our plans to make sure Manchester will continue to have a Pride.

Looking forward to working with councillors and the LGBTQ+ community on a new, community-led Manchester Pride.

Passed an amended (by @gavinwhite76.bsky.social and Cllr Jon-Connor Lyons) motion reaffirming our commitment to building on brownfield land and creating more green spaces. Original was disingenuous from opposition councillors who demand more social housing - and then oppose at planning.

We’ve passed a motion to raise awareness and ask Wes Streeting to make a national targeted testing scheme available in support of Prostate Cancer UK’s “Faster Fairer Better” campaign.

Moving talk from Tony Collier about his campaign to improve prostrate cancer diagnosis and treatment. Too many men are dying because their cancer isn’t caught early enough. It’s a big problem in Manchester.

Love it for her. She’s now totally defied production’s narrative arc, and survives beyond Blackpool.

(Also the right decision - we don’t need a two-couple final ever again)
