Wonderful day on Monday! Started with an assembly at St Teresa's RCP on what an MP does & listening to the students' ideas.

Then to Eccles RFC for RugbyFest w/ Sale Sharks Foundation & Salford Schools Sports Partnership. Great to see kids enjoying rugby inc. the girls from St Teresa's!

NATIONAL: Hate and antisemitism have no place in our country.

My thoughts are with the victims of the Manchester synagogue attack and their loved ones.

To Jewish communities everywhere - You are not alone, and you have our full support at this distressing time.

CONSTITUENCY: Great to see people in #WorsleyAndEccles at Google's Digital Garage.

The workshop covered ways to improve digital skills, use AI tools, and build confidence online.

I'm really pleased to have worked with Google to bring this to #WorsleyAndEccles.

CONSTITUENCY: I went to visit Salford Sailing Group run by Tony Beckett. The Group has done an amazing job for decades, giving young people from Salford experiences they wouldn't otherwise have had.

They're doing wonderful work. Thanks for the brew Tony!

CONFERENCE: Last week, MPs from Yorkshire and Lancashire went head-to-head in a rugby match organised by @therfl.bsky.social.

A welcome chance to come together over our shared love of the sport. Yorkshire may have taken the win… but we’ll be back next year! 🏉

CONFERENCE: @usdawunion.bsky.social's event, Workers’ Rights: Labour’s New Deal & Beyond, focussed on how the Employment Rights Bill is helping strengthen protections for workers in the UK.

It was a great opportunity to talk about the impact of this crucial legislation.

CONFERENCE: We’re already delivering the change we promised:
✔️ 5 million more NHS appointments.
✔️ 5 interest rate cuts.
✔️ Wages growing faster.
✔️ Planning changes to get Britain building.

This is national renewal in action, and it’s what gives me real hope for the future.

CONFERENCE: At Labour Conference, the PM was clear: Britain faces a choice - decency or division, renewal or decline.

Achieving what we want isn't easy, but we must deliver for all: end years of decline, improve public services, and put more pounds in your pockets.

With conferences in full swing, I spent some of last week in Liverpool at Labour Conference attending sessions, the PM’s speech, and key policy announcements before a number of events here in #WorsleyAndEccles.

So, time for a brew and catch up👇

I'm horrified by the attack on worshippers at a synagogue in Manchester.

My thoughts are with the victims, their families and the wider Jewish community at this difficult time.

I stand in full solidarity with Jewish people in #WorsleyAndEccles and across the country.

I worked to improve people's pay and security before I was an MP and as one, I'm proud to have kept up that work.

It's so important to everything we do and I'm not going to stop now.

Labour Unions @labourunionsuk.bsky.social · 8d

Everyone deserves the pay and security that comes with having a guaranteed hours contract, that's why @mwheelermp.bsky.social is backing the New Deal for Working People in full! #Lab25

Big news for Peel Green! £20 million over 10 years through @UKLabour’s Pride in Place Programme.

Since being elected as the MP for #WorsleyAndEccles, my focus has been on making this community a good place to live. Now that work is paying off.

Real investment. Real change. 👇

Last week, we urged the Lib Dems not to try to weaken the #EmploymentRightsBill.

It was hugely disappointing that they joined forces with the Tories and Reform last night to do just that. Fortunately, this Labour Government stood firm and is delivering the Bill.

Michael Wheeler @mwheelermp.bsky.social · 29d

Today I, with other members of the @usdawunion.bsky.social Parliamentary Group, wrote to Lib Dem MPs calling on them to help undo the damage Lib Dem and Tory Lords did to the #EmploymentRightsBill.

People in this country deserve security at work and guaranteed hours is part of that.

PARLIAMENT: I've nominated @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social as Deputy Leader of Labour. Her commitment to delivering early years improvements, which I saw first hand when she visited a school in #WorsleyAndEccles, is clear. I look forward to continuing to work together to deliver these plans.
