Today is World Homelessness Day and World Mental Health Day. Labour is determined to end rough sleeping before Christmas, and we are expanding our mental health support – especially through our 159 new mental health hubs. We are working to make sure no person in Britain is unseen and left behind.

Electoral reform, the National Care Service, the largest post-war era council home programme, and more control over our water - Andy's vision for the country is bold but together we can deliver it.🌹 I spoke to Granada Reports straight after Andy's speech to give my instant reaction. Watch here:

Today marks one year since the horrific Heaton Park Synagogue attack, a dark moment in our city's history. We must all be determined to stand against antisemitism and religious hatred in all forms. My thoughts are with the victims' loved ones and the Greater Manchester Jewish community.

Today is the day! VAT is now off your electricity bills, providing immediate support with your energy costs. We know that it won't solve the whole problem. But whilst we're building up our clean, green energy, this cut will hopefully show you that we're serious about getting your bills down.

I welcome the Home Secretary's new safe and legal routes for women and girls fleeing horrific conditions in Palestine and Afghanistan. This is what a fair asylum system looks like. I hope we open up more routes like this when needed. This is what Britian is about - a warm welcome to those in need.

Afzal Khan MP @afzalkhanmcr.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I've always said that Labour's initial position on Palestine wasn't enough. I'm proud to see that today the Foreign Secretary acknowledged that we haven't always been right, and we are now fixing that.

Months on from the anti-Muslim hostility definition, we need to see more action to implement it - including appointing an anti-Muslim hostility tsar. I recently spoke to @hyphenonline.com. The government should use Islamophobia Awareness Month to tackle anti-Muslim hostility. buff.ly/CCAJ066

Great catch-up with the Rusholme Labour team.🌹 So happy to hear that residents and our local members are really pleased with the new direction of the Labour Government under Andy Burnham - especially on Palestine and sanctioning illegal Israeli settlements.

That's why I met with Safety4Sisters in Hulme and the Hibiscus Initiative who do important work helping migrant survivors of gender-based violence.

I've heard from constituents who were frustrated with fireworks going off into the early hours this morning. People are allowed to use fireworks, but it is irresponsible to be lighting fireworks deep into the night. They keep children awake, can trigger with PTSD, and scare our family pets.

Afzal Khan MP @afzalkhanmcr.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Labour has recognised the State of Palestine, sanctioned extremists in the Israeli Government and settlers, funded UNRWA, opened up UK study routes to Palestinians, and has been at the forefront of medical support in Palestine. I will continue to do everything I can to stand with the Palestinians.

A year on from the Heaton Park Synagogue attack, Jewish communities are still scared. It's unacceptable. We must be united against violence being inflicted on religious communities. Thank you to the authorities for ensuring no one was hurt. www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater...

Today, the government has announced it is bringing in statutory bereavement leave for pre-24 week pregnancy loss from next April. This will make a huge difference to women and their partners who experience the pain of losing a pregnancy - and finally recognise it as the bereavement that it is.

More of Labour's Young Future Hubs like the ones in Manchester are about to open all across England. 42 new hubs will offer support for some of the biggest challenges facing young people. Labour refuses to ignore young people - we are putting in the support every young person needs to thrive.

No family should experience losses caused by knife crime. But in areas that have benefitted from Labour's targeted approach, knife crime has dropped by nearly a quarter since the last election. We promised to halve knife crime in a decade. This data shows that we are on track to meet this goal.
