Great to speak with BBC Look North about a Labour conference that underlined our values of fairness, equality and justice.

Nobody should wait years for a home while houses sit empty down the road. Last year I asked ministers to give councils stronger powers on empty homes. Today we've announced it. This government is reversing Tory red tape and give these homes to local families in need.

Delighted to see Pat McFadden and DWP taking this step. For the many young disabled people who want to work, this will give them the right support and opportunity to take that first step, ensure they feel the dignity and self-respect that comes with a job.

Behind every loss is a family that deserves time to heal. Nobody should have to fight for time to grieve. Our Labour Government has announced that every worker will now have the legal right to bereavement leave following the death of an immediate family member or pregnancy loss.

Have your say on the future of Supertram! 🚋 As I continue campaigning for better public transport and a tram-train extension to Stocksbridge, I want people across our communities to help shape the network’s future. 🚋 Share your views at: www.southyorkshire-ca.gov.uk/explore/new-...

Come with me for a walk around Penistone Agricultural Show, the pride of Penistone. It’s been held for over 150 years, and is now one of the largest one day shows in Northern England, and I’ve been going since I was little.

Marie Tidball @marietidball.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Great to chat to Ellie Colton on BBC Radio Sheffield about the acute issues facing women with endometriosis. I’ve been vocal about the medical misogyny that pervades healthcare. I’ll continue working with the Government to ensure all women are listened to, heard and believed.

I'm deeply disappointed by Reform-led Barnsley Council pulling the plug on £1.8 million for much needed work on the Penistone Paramount Cinema. I've launched a petition calling on Reform to reverse this decision. Sign the petition on my website here: www.marietidball.com/campaigns/sa...

Save Penistone Paramount

Penistone Paramount is a treasured community asset, and Barnsley Council should reverse their decision to shelve this project.

Labour are making on big shifts our NHS needs happen, moving from hospital to community, from sickness to prevention, and from analogue to digital. This new approach to our NHS is already working - this year, we've seen the largest fall in NHS waiting lists since 2009.

🌾 Happy Back British Farming Day 🚜 Farmers feed us and hold rural communities together. I'm proud we have a Government backing them, with millions of pounds for sustainable practies and improvements. I’m proud to back British farming, today and all year round

Heading down to Parliament for the first day after recess feels like the first day back at school ☺️ Good luck to all those children and young people starting back at school this week (and their parents and teachers too 😉).

The campaign to save Scout Dike is gaining momentum! Yesterday I spoke to BBC Look North along with Nick and Darren from Scout Dike Adventure about my petition asking Barnsley Council to pause its plans to demolish Scout Dike Activity Centre and allow the community to take it on.

A huge well done to everyone receiving their GCSE and vocational results today! 🌟 Congratulations to students across Penistone and Stocksbridge. I hope you take time today to recognise how far you have come and look forward to what comes next.

Marie Tidball @marietidball.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

Today, Andy has announced immediate action to offer everyone who needs it a route off the streets by Christmas, through the new Rough Sleeping Programme. When the Prime Minister pledged to end rough sleeping, we said we'd move urgently from words to action. Today we're delivering on that promise.

Today marks the 81st Anniversary of VJ Day. The bravery of those who served, and resilience of their families who waited and worried at home, must never be forgotten. Thank you to everyone across our communities helping to commemorate this VJ Day Anniversary.

I'm pleased that the Prime Minister @Andy Burnham has temporarily banned the sale of disposal barbecues.. Wildfires are causing heartbreaking damage across our country, including nearby at Tintwistle Moor. You can read the full story here: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Congratulations to everyone receiving their A-level, T-Level and vocational results today! You should be incredibly proud of the hard work, determination and resilience that brought you to this point. I wish every student across Penistone and Stocksbridge the very best for the future.

Marie Tidball @marietidball.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Great news that @andyburnham has today announced new powers to crack down on the vape shops and dodgy businesses that have taken over our high streets and add no community value. This will put power back in the hands of local communities to have a real say over what opens on their high street.

Marie Tidball @marietidball.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Subscriptions that are easy to join but almost impossible to cancel, along with fake discounts, make life harder and cost people their hard-earned cash. I'm really pleased that the Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, is bringing forwards a crackdown on these practices.

It's fantastic news that Barnsley and Sheffield are going to benefit from new NHS mental health facilities, as part of the Government’s new package of 100 new community mental health services and 59 dedicated mental health emergency departments in England. 🏥

Andy Burnham is right. We need a different kind of politics on social care. Problem-solving, not point-scoring. I know how much this system needs to change. I welcome cross-party talks and the Big Conversation on Care, because fixing this can't be one party's job.

Marie Tidball @marietidball.bsky.social · 25/07/2026

Good news for pensioners across our country. The government has confirmed that if the state pension is your only source of income, you will not pay income tax. On top of that, the triple lock means 12 million pensioners will see their income rise by up to £470 this year alone.

Marie Tidball @marietidball.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

Another great doorknocking session for our Penistone East by-election candidate, John Roberts. John lives in Penistone and was an exceptional councillor. Here’s hoping he wins it back when the by-election is held on Thursday 20th August🤞

Marie Tidball @marietidball.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

🍻Cheers to this!🍻 The Prime Minister @andyburnham has announced that business rates are being slashed for pubs, clubs, and live music venues – providing £1,100 on average of breathing space per pub next year. I couldn’t be more delighted!

No one should be priced out of transport. £2 cap on buses, the first freeze on rail fares in 30 years, will help ease the burden of the cost-of-living squeeze. This is how you serve all parts of the country.

Marie Tidball @marietidball.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

I chatted to Radio 4 about the role of empathy in politics. I’m so proud to have heard Andy Burnham stand on Downing Street this week and say boldly that he will put the care of people at the heart of everything he does. Let’s bring back hope.

Marie Tidball @marietidball.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

Our new PM Andy Burnham has cut VAT for electricity bills. Andy also stood outside No10 yesterday and said his first instruction will be to end rough sleeping in our country. It’s clear already that Andy is taking bold action for people and places that have been left behind for too long.

Marie Tidball @marietidball.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

Yesterday I spoke on @channel4news.bsky.social about why I'm absolutely delighted that @andyburnham.bsky.social is going to be our next Prime Minister. For constituencies like mine that have been left behind for too long, growth in every postcode is exactly what we need.

Marie Tidball @marietidball.bsky.social · 18/07/2026

It’s so important to see this new national approach being taken to court listings, which will prioritise rape and serious sexual offence cases in Crown Courts in England and Wales. These changes will mean faster justice for rape victims, ensuring that cases are heard sooner and delays are reduced.

Some days I have to pinch myself. It was an honour to receive a Stonewall Pride Changemaker Award, for Policy Change, with Rachel Taylor MP. I’m so proud to have worked to make hate crimes on the basis of someone's sexuality, gender or disability an aggrevated offence.🌈

Happy 78th Birthday to our NHS! The NHS healthcare I had at Barnsley and Sheffield Hospitals as a child enabled me to walk and to follow my ambitions. The NHS means so much to all of us, so I took some time with chat with our brilliant Penistone East Cllr Dr Alex Burnett, who is a local doctor 👇

Donna Ockenden’s final report on the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust Independent Maternity and Neonatal Review was published earlier this week. This was the largest maternity care scandal in the NHS. The findings of the final report are horrendous, heartbreaking and unforgivable.

This #ArmedForcesDay, I'm thinking of those who serve and have served, including my Grandpa Peter and my Grandma Maurine. Our armed forces and their families make extraordinary sacrifices: theirs is the ultimate public service. Thank you for all you do.

Raneem Oudeh and her mother called 999 four times the night they were murdered. No one came. This week we trebled the number of domestic abuse specialists now in 999 control rooms across 17 police forces, honouring her memory as part of Raneem's Law.

I’m so proud that today the Government has published draft legislation to introduce a trans-inclusive ban on conversation practices against our LGBTQ+ community. This is a major step forwards to ensure that every person in our communities is treated with dignity and respect.

Today we write the Armed Forces Covenant into law. Those who serve our country should never get a worse deal for it. After years of forces and their families being left in homes not fit to live in, we are finally fulfilling our moral and legal obligations to them.

Reform UK have now failed to elect a Leader for Kirklees Council. Twice. Their group leader admitted she "didn't need to know everything" about how the council works, and the council will sit leaderless for over a month, so the Chief Executive has to stand in to keep the lights on. Unacceptable.

Come on England! Best of luck to the Three Lions as they kick-off their World Cup campaign this evening against Croatia.
