It was great to be out in a scorching #Makerfield this weekend, pounding the streets for @andyburnham.bsky.social 😎☀️🌡️ Voters in Hindley Green were clear that Andy standing changes things, and many who voted Reform a few weeks ago will be backing Labour on 18th June 🗳️🌹

Below is a 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 from me on the decision to proceed with all local elections due across England, including here in Cannock Chase, on 7th May 2026 👇🏻
A statement from Josh Newbury MP which reads: “I welcome the decision by the Secretary of State to withdraw the cancellation of the local elections due to take place on 7th May 2026. Although the decision of whether to apply for a cancellation of these elections was rightly a decision for councillors, I had made it clear to anyone who asked me that I personally wanted to see them go ahead.

This decision means residents across Cannock Chase will now go to the polls as planned. Local elections are about accountability and giving people the chance to choose who represents them and makes decisions on behalf of our towns and villages.

I am pleased the elections will now go ahead and I look forward to getting out across Cannock Chase, campaigning alongside our Labour candidates and making the case for honest, community-focused leadership over the politics of division.”

Roses are red, violets are blue, But new dads get just two. Two weeks on pay that won’t cover the rent, While Europe gives more - fair leave, better spent. If love means sharing life, then let’s make it right, Give every dad a chance to hold their little one through the night ❤️ 1️⃣ of 5️⃣

Our trade unions play a vital role in improving the lives of working people, and in delivering Labour's landmark Employment Rights Act. This #HeartUnions week, @warinderjussmp.bsky.social celebrates the work our unions do ❤️

With President Trump’s commitment to the fundamentals of NATO shaky at best, we need to strengthen and deepen defence partnerships with reliable allies including the EU 🇬🇧🇪🇺 No to being part of any EU army ❌ But yes to closer co-operation ✅ I hope the EU will be pragmatic re entry costs for Safe 💶

I've taken on vested interests. I was accused of 'class war-mongering' by opening free breakfast clubs, so children get fed. Now, I’ve announced an expansion to half a million more children. If you want more 'class war-mongering' of this sort, back me. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

QUENTIN LETTS: Scary Bridget is good at class war-mongering
You can understand that the Kremlin might, at initial glance, mistake Ms Phillipson for a tough. 'Scary Bridget' does look and sound terrifying. Her upper lip curls like a piglet's tail.

𝐇𝐢 𝐁𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐤𝐲! 👋🏻 The app-that-must-not-be-named has become a little too toxic lately, even for me 🧌 So, I've decided to move my musings on my job as an MP, the world of politics, and life in general over to here 🙂🦋 Watch this space for updates from Westminster and Cannock Chase 🏛️🌳
