📮 ✉️ Update on Royal Mail services from Minister Blair McDougall MP I recently raised concerns about letter deliveries following service changes by Royal Mail nationally. Hopefully we see some improvement, but do keep me informed.

Local members in Gorton & Denton should choose their candidate, not the Labour NEC. Blocking Andy Burnham from putting his case to members looks like a factional stitch‑up. Party democracy matters, and shutting out local voices undermines it. The NEC should rethink and return the choice to members.

🚄✅Last night I was proud to vote for Labour's Railways Bill. 🇬🇧Great British Railways is about integration not ideology, service not shareholders. And we must always keep the workforce at its heart.

Things that aren't scary - catching a train. Things that are scary - the idea of removing staff from trains to save a few quid. I've raised this before in relation to the Great British Railways Bill and will keep doing so. Thank you to all rail staff who do an amazing job every day.

Yesterday I voted against Nigel Farage's Bill to drag Britain out of the European Convention of Human Rights. Leaving the ECHR won't stop a single boat nor secure our borders, but it would make us all less safe.

I'm shocked and appalled by reports of attacks at a Manchester Synagogue on the Holy Day of Yom Kippur. 4 people reported injured and police have shot dead the assailant. My thoughts are with those affected and their loved ones.

Manchester synagogue: Four people injured in car and stabbing attack in Crumpsall

Mayor Andy Burnham says the suspect is believed to be dead. Keir Starmer says the attack happening on Yom Kippur - the holiest day in the Jewish calendar - makes it

Last week I signed a letter highlighting attacks on the Global Sumud Flotilla. Now Israel has illegally intercepted the Flotilla in international waters, abducting British citizens and seizing ships sailing under British flags. The govt must condemn this attack and demand their immediate release.

I welcome the sanctions announced today on those linked to the Kremlin's policy of forced deportation and 'russification' of Ukrainian children. At a meeting with Ukrainian experts and mothers last year I heard harrowing stories of loss, and the damage caused to these children. Bring them home.

I'm pleased the Government has moved on recognition of Palestine, but what will be left by September? There are no hospitals to treat refeeding syndrome, which will inevitably result when starved people start eating again. Aid and healthcare must be a priority now.
