Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 24/04/2026The BIGGEST game in National League history this weekend: Rochdale vs York City. We’re both desperate for automatic promotion, but there’s a bigger message from Parliament to the pitch: this is proof we need #3UP. Bring on Saturday, may the best team win. 🏆⚽️ #ycfc #rafc 121 2
Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 22/04/2026Games don’t come bigger than #RAFC vs #YCFC this weekend. Two 100+ point teams head-to-head on the final day for promotion? Proof we need #3UP. That’s why @paulwaughmp.bsky.social and I have written to DAZN asking for it to be free-to-air. Up the Minstermen! 🔴🔵📄⬇️ 050 5
Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 19/04/2026In any EFL league, both us and Rochdale would already be celebrating promotion. Instead? A final-day head-to-head between us and #RAFC, despite both teams hitting 100+ points. Brutal but fitting. So close yesterday, but it wasn’t to be. All to play for next weekend! #ycfc 🔴🔵 040 4

Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 13/04/2026Miss one payment and you could face a bailiff at your door 🚪 I have been working with StepChange & Ministers to push for fairer, more consistent council tax debt collection that supports vulnerable people 🤝 We need a system that helps people recover financially, not makes things worse. 051 5
Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 07/04/2026Toxic content is sometimes just a few clicks away. That worries me as a parent. 172 7
Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 02/04/2026Reform pretend to be on the side of working people. The reality? They’re led by snobby millionaires who have no idea how much cost-of-living support matters to families. They’re not on your side. Labour is. 021 2
Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 01/04/2026𝐂𝐮𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐁𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐬 ⚡ From today, households will see around £117 off energy bills thanks to the price cap first proposed by Ed Miliband in 2013. Labour’s plan for clean, homegrown energy means lower bills, greater energy security and protection from global price shocks. 052 5

Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 28/03/2026Askham Bryan are doing fantastic work with their Level 2 apprenticeships and T Level courses.

Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 27/03/2026Britain has a problem with accent snobbery: it’s time we talked about it. Jumped on Chopper’s Podcast this week to get into that, plus cherry pickers, social media bans and more. Thanks to Christopher Hope, top interviewer and bloke.

Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 18/03/2026@nus-uk.bsky.social @rethinkrepayment.bsky.social and others have rightly put student finance on the agenda, and everyone agrees we need a fairer system. 🎓 What does that look like to you? Share your ideas below. 165 6
Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 17/03/2026I watched Inside the Manosphere on Netflix. Uncomfortable, eye-opening, and hard to ignore. 🎬 Here’s my TEN unfiltered thoughts. 153 5
Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 13/03/2026🇪🇺🎓 A cuppa and a catch up about Erasmus coming back! Great to have Amira and Alex from @nus-uk.bsky.social pop into my parliamentary office for a cuppa and a chat about the UK rejoining Erasmus+. ☕️ 164 6
Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 22/02/2026What does the future of Britain’s railways look like? I saw it for myself at York Station🚉 From complex signalling to tough weather and busy routes, apprentices get hands on, high tech training that builds real confidence. 🎮🌧️ York has been at the heart of the railways and it will continue to be.💪 153 5
Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 20/02/2026We all need to think about how social media is shaping our children’s lives. 💭📱 But don’t just take my word for it. After convening a consultation in York, I gathered reflections from a parent, a former teacher, and a therapeutic counsellor who works with children. Here are their thoughts.🗣️ 130 3
Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 20/02/2026Today is Love Your Pet Day, and I've given Woody, Pretzel, and Basil extra treats. Pets are family, and that's why I've supported reforms for more transparent and fair vet bills. I discussed with the York Press how this will ease unexpected costs for families, allowing them to focus on pet care.🐶 161 6
Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 18/02/2026Inspired by York’s amazing teachers! We’re so lucky to have the National STEM Learning Centre at the University of York, training the teachers of tomorrow. In a world full of change, maths, science, tech, and engineering skills matter more than ever! 🥼🧮 051 5
Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 17/02/2026Yesterday, I brought together constituents, parents, grandparents, carers who work with children, Professor Lisa Henderson, Head of Psychology at the University of York, and Peter Roderick from the City of York Council to share their thoughts on social media. A huge thanks to all who came along. 💬📲 0112 11
Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 16/02/2026Had a brilliant visit to Network Rail in York! 🚆 Great to see the next generation of rail pros being trained right here in the heart of our city.

Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 15/02/2026We are so lucky in York to have so much on our doorstep, and in some cases on our buildings thanks to the commemorative plaques placed by York Civic Trust. It was brilliant to visit the Trust and Fairfax House this week. A huge thank you to the dedicated staff and volunteers who do so much. 030 3
Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 14/02/2026What a night for York Knights! Opening Super League with a win over reigning champions Hull KR. One of the biggest upsets you’ll see. With the Knights flying and York City pushing for promotion, it’s a brilliant time to be a sports fan in York. 🔵🟡 042 4
Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 13/02/2026Every football fan knows it’s time the National League had three promotion spots, not just the #ycfc fan in me. Proud to back #3UP with Paul Waugh. One of Rochdale or York will miss out on automatics & I hope it’s not us! The EFL Board meets in March to discuss this: it’s time. 🔴🔵 150 5
Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 11/02/2026Reform and Nigel Farage want to end working from home. Literally NOBODY asked for that. Want to hear the truth? ⬇️💥 3269 26
Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 10/02/2026Labour is delivering for this country. 🌹 Make no mistake. Today, we move forward. 2026 will be the year Britain gets its mojo back. ✅ 2155 15
Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 09/02/2026So much achieved. Much more to do. As a united team let’s keep challenging Reform’s divisive agenda, all whilst delivering for the British people. 🌹💪🏽 14192 19
Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 28/01/2026Reform have no answers. Ask them how they’ll rebuild the NHS. Ask them how they’ll lower bills. Ask them how they’ll build homes. You’ll only hear slogans, blame, and outrage, because they have nothing else. They are simply: Turquoise Tories. 63713 37
Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 26/01/2026Farage just called Reform “UKIP”. Says it all. 1349 34
Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 23/01/2026Mayor David Skaith and I have been working really closely together to push for vital transport links in our region, and this week the Transport Secretary popped up to York to formally sign the NPR compact. Great to catch up with David following this exciting moment for both York, and Yorkshire! 040 4
Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 21/01/2026The expansion of 30 hours of funded childcare is a game-changing step forward for families 👶✨ However the funded hours kick in the term after the child turns 9 months old. This means some children may be even 13 months old before they get their funded hours, which I highlighted in Parliament 🌟📣 030 3
Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 19/01/2026Food inflation skyrocketed after the Tories & Reform’s botched Brexit. 😐 So I’m campaigning to bring prices down and cut the cost of living, starting with a UK favourite: the meal deal. 🥪 It’s time to give something back to the grafters out getting their lunch. ✅ 60104 60
Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 16/01/2026A rail revolution is happening in the North! 💪🚆 After years of Tory decline, and with Reform now threatening to scrap it, Labour is delivering Northern Powerhouse Rail and renewed optimism for our region that has been overlooked for too long. ✅🌹 4172 17
Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 14/01/2026The student loan misselling scandal? Labour inherited a student loan system designed by the Tories that can only be described as “Frankenstein’s monster”. I raised Plan 2 loans in Parliament, for the millions of graduates fed up of paying the price of a poor Tory era policy. 2154 15
Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 12/01/2026A pleasure to visit Bishopthorpe Cricket Club! Just two years on from the brink of closure, this historic club is now thriving thanks to the dedication of its volunteers and players. A brilliant York success story. 🏏 021 2
Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 11/01/2026This is why I do this job. Loved celebrating the return of the Number 15 bus I’ve been pushing for with constituents from Bishopthorpe & Woodthorpe.

Luke Charters MP @lukecharters.bsky.social · 03/01/2026Great to catch up with Age UK York at the York City match ⚽ Their Match Buddies scheme is doing such good work, helping older people who might otherwise miss out on matchdays to enjoy the game in good company. A really positive initiative making a genuine difference to many people across York 👏 040 4
