Andy and I have worked together to lift up all of Greater Manchester. As Mayor, I’ll build on that legacy to bring our ten boroughs together and make sure every community shares in our success.

Kemi lost her head at PMQs - and afterwards too. It's not the first time. She's compared me to a Gestapo officer. I wonder what it is about a working class woman driving record investment in state schools by ending private schools' tax breaks that the Tories hate so much.

Retail staff are at the heart of our communities, yet too often face abuse, threats and assault. It’s not acceptable, and action is being taken. Working with @usdawunion.bsky.social, this Government is delivering for retail workers and making high streets safer. More below 👇

Michael Wheeler @mwheelermp.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

It depends on the definition of social media and looking at how it's used. I believe that we need to work to preserve the benefits whilst still taking action because if we just adopt a blanket ban and expect that to fix things, it won't work.

000

Michael Wheeler @mwheelermp.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

On your first point, I don't think that would work by itself as it's not simply about content. On your second point, I completely agree.

Michael Wheeler @mwheelermp.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

Whether you think my motivation stems from being a 'weasel' or not, I'm not advocating the 'blunderbuss approach'. I don't believe it would work by itself anyway and would have negative consequences, that's the point of the letter.

Michael Wheeler @mwheelermp.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

Hello Rachel, the broader point of the letter argues that, for the reasons you say, we shouldn't focus too narrowly on social media as a) there are benefits from sites and apps in that area, and b) by itself, it's not the cause of the problem (I believe it's social media and smart phones combined).

Michael Wheeler @mwheelermp.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

As a dad and MP, I worry about the impact of social media on our children. Over 250 people in #WorsleyAndEccles have contacted me on this. I’ve written to the Secretary of State to push for action - promoting safety while preserving access to positive, interest-based spaces.👇

PARLIAMENT: Like many in #WorsleyAndEccles, I’ve been using Duolingo to learn a new language. It’s a useful way to challenge myself and maintain a routine. Like last year, I'm taking part in the Westminster Duolingo Challenge hoping to win some money for local groups.

CONSTITUENCY: Playkidds in Swinton provides a safe and engaging space for young people in #WorsleyAndEccles to play and get active. I met the team this week to hear about their work and how they’re always adapting to meet local needs and remain accessible for families.

The new right to a guaranteed hours contract in the Employment Rights Act could be transformational, finally ending exploitative short and zero-hour contracts. But we must make sure we get the detail right and ensure all workers benefit.
