Before the school holidays, it was a pleasure to visit Archbishop Beck to catch up with staff and discuss issues including local sixth form provision.

It was a real pleasure to join celebrations to mark Norris Green Park retaining its Green Flag Award and the unveiling of its Fields In Trust plaque. These achievements reflect the dedication of local volunteers, whose commitment has helped make the park a place the whole community can be proud of.

I was pleased to meet with Rob, co-founder of Love Jasmine, and Clare, who has benefited from the charity's support. We spoke about the challenges facing charities like Love Jasmine and the need for sustainable funding to help them continue their vital work.

This week I spoke with adoptive parents and kinship carers in Parliament to hear their views on the Government’s proposals to reform adoption and kinship support. I’ll continue to advocate for all adoptive and kinship families living in Liverpool Walton.

Thanks to everyone who came along to my latest constituency surgery at Ellergreen Community Centre. A wide range of issues raised, and plenty for me and my team to take forward on behalf of constituents.

Dan Carden MP @dancardenmp.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

I was pleased to attend this year's National Parliamentary Prayer Breakfast with my constituent Rev. Mike Hindley. It was a valuable opportunity to reflect on public service, faith and the common good.

Orrell Park Community Centre needs funding to stay open. Today I met with its volunteers and staff to see what can be done. Public and community spaces such as this are the fabric of a healthy society. See less

It was a pleasure to join constituents and campaigners at Mencap's 80th Anniversary in Parliament. An incredible milestone for a charity that does vital work supporting people with a learning disability and their families.

It was a pleasure to visit Northern Lights Parkinson’s Support Group in their new hub at Fazakerley Community Centre. Thank you for the warm welcome and for all you do to support people living with Parkinson’s and their loved ones.

Thanks to Fazakerley Community Federation for hosting my advice surgery over the weekend. Always great to hear from constituents and take up their concerns. Milo enjoyed it too! 🐶

To continue this discussion, I am supporting a parliamentary event on rent controls and affordability in the private rented sector. MPs will have the opportunity to discuss the evidence with researchers from all of these organisations.

Dan Carden MP @dancardenmp.bsky.social · 03/06/2026

New Economics Foundation has also added to the growing evidence base, setting out proposals for a modern system of fair rents. At a time when too many renters are struggling to keep up with housing costs, it is right that we look seriously at the options available. neweconomics.org/2026/05/a-mo...

Analysis from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and Autonomy Institute shows that carefully-designed rent control and rebalancing the tax system could save renters £1,200 per year. www.jrf.org.uk/housing/how-...

How tax reform would make rent controls feasible to deliver

This first report from our Ending the Rent Squeeze programme shows combining rent control and tax reform is an impactful, viable way of bringing down rent costs.

A growing body of evidence is making the case for action on rent affordability in the private rented sector. Three important reports published in recent weeks deserve serious attention. 🧵⬇️ :

With the appointment of Ann-Marie as Chair, Norris Green #PrideInPlace is off to a fantastic start. I look forward to supporting Ann-Marie and the wider community to ensure this investment is led by, and delivers real benefits for, the people of Norris Green. liverpoolexpress.co.uk/chair-of-nor...

At today's Foreign Affairs Committee session with Sir Oliver Robbins, I asked him what would have happened if Peter Mandelson's clearance had been denied.

Dan Carden MP @dancardenmp.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

The broken rental market must be brought under control. In parts of my constituency, homes are being turned into HMO bedsits at an alarming rate, so landlords can charge even more rip-off rents. I called on Government to look again at the evidence on rent controls.

Today I was out around County Road asking residents to share their views on rent affordability in our area. Thanks to those who have already completed my survey. Your experiences will help me to fight for real change for Walton’s residents.

AI is profoundly transforming the world of work, but is our politics fit to meet the challenge?

211

Dan Carden MP @dancardenmp.bsky.social · 18/03/2026

Nearly 1 million young people are not in education, employment or training. We cannot accept that as the new normal. In Parliament, I asked how the Government will measure the success of its plans to tackle this – and how our systems must adapt as AI transforms the world of work.

021

Dan Carden MP @dancardenmp.bsky.social · 17/03/2026

Renters’ rights shouldn’t come with a price tag. Today I challenged the Government over reports renters could face fees to contest unfair rent rises. This would deter those who need help the most and allow rogue landlords to evade accountability.

Dan Carden MP @dancardenmp.bsky.social · 16/03/2026

Our security at sea depends on the strength of British shipbuilding. I asked the Minister what steps are being taken to ensure consistent contracts, so the industry can retain the skills and workforce it needs.

131

Dan Carden MP @dancardenmp.bsky.social · 15/03/2026

Government support for getting young people into work is absolutely necessary in today's labour market. With global economic uncertainty and AI threatening employment opportunities, interventions like these are what a Labour Government is for.

Endless rent rises are pushing people to the brink, and fuelling more homes being bought up by investors. Housing is for homes, not for someone else’s asset or second income. It’s time for solutions that permanently lower rents. #RentControls

Norris Green East has secured £20m in new #PrideInPlace funding. We're looking for an independent Chair of a Community Board of local residents that will collectively decide how this new funding is spent. See below for more info and apply today! ⬇️

Dan Carden MP @dancardenmp.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

Private rents are most extortionate in working-class communities like Liverpool Walton. As the affordability crisis deepens, I called on the Government to bring in and pilot bold action to control rents.

Dan Carden MP @dancardenmp.bsky.social · 04/02/2026

Chaos in the Civil Service Pension Scheme under Capita is causing distress and hardship to my constituents, people who have worked and paid into their pensions all their lives. I spoke in today's debate to ask what sanctions will be put in place to hold Capita to account.

Dan Carden MP @dancardenmp.bsky.social · 30/01/2026

Since I raised this last week, I welcome reports that the Government will proscribe Iran’s IRGC, which has killed thousands of innocent Iranians. The Government should announce a timetable for bringing the necessary legislation to Parliament in the next few weeks – no delays.

The Labour Government is capping ground rents at £250 a year. Positive news for leaseholders who have been squeezed for far too long.

Dan Carden MP @dancardenmp.bsky.social · 26/01/2026

Norris Green East is getting £20m in funding as part of the Government's #PrideInPlace initiative. And local residents will decide how it is spent. Keep an eye out for more information about how you can get involved.

063

Dan Carden MP @dancardenmp.bsky.social · 12/01/2026

Unfair rent hikes continue to pile pressure on struggling tenants. I welcome that the Government has taken action with the Renters Rights Act. But ministers must be prepared to go further if the affordability crisis continues.

Wishing you a merry Christmas and a peaceful new year! 🎄 ✨

Great fun at the Walton LifeRooms Christmas party! I took the opportunity to thank the team for their vital work supporting Liverpool Walton constituents all year round.

Dan Carden MP @dancardenmp.bsky.social · 18/12/2025

Schools in my constituency are doing fantastic work, but funding constraints mean that they are under increasing pressure. I asked the Government to ensure that schools in the most disadvantaged areas have enough resources to meet the level of need.

060

Dan Carden MP @dancardenmp.bsky.social · 18/12/2025

Pleased to visit Redbridge High School in my constituency to hear more about their work supporting children with complex needs – and what support they need from government.

Dan Carden MP @dancardenmp.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

Thanks to everyone who joined me at my most recent constituency surgery. Lots of issues for me and my team to take up on behalf of constituents.

Dan Carden MP @dancardenmp.bsky.social · 16/12/2025

Great to hear more about plans to apply for National Lottery heritage funding to refurbish Walton's Old Grammar School. The school is the 5th oldest building in the city – a unique piece of our history, which residents are determined to preserve and cherish.

Dan Carden MP @dancardenmp.bsky.social · 28/11/2025

My constituent, Ellis Cox, was just 19 when he was murdered on 23 June last year. There is a reward of up to £20,000 for information that brings those responsible to justice. Today Ellis' family renewed their appeal for information and safety measures on Aintree Loop Line.

Blood Transfusions during the Falklands War

Dan Carden MP @dancardenmp.bsky.social · 12/11/2025

Last night, I spoke in Parliament on behalf of my constituent, a veteran of the Falklands War. He received blood transfusions – and was later diagnosed with Hepatitis B – but that fact has never been formally recognised, potentially precluding him from support he is entitled to.

Dan Carden MP @dancardenmp.bsky.social · 17/10/2025

Had a wonderful time visiting St. Francis de Sales Catholic Junior School to speak with students and answer their thoughtful questions. Such bright young minds give me hope for the future.
