We have wonderful volunteers across Greater Manchester and it was a pleasure to meet the Friends of Littleborough Stations today. Their Chair, Richard Lysons and the team were busy clearing the overgrowth and rubbish outside Littleborough Station. Well done and thank you all!

What a fantastic welcome for @AndyBurnhamGM from the fantastic Junior Blast band to open the brilliant new building for local company R17 today. A brilliant family business, employing more than 20 people, recruiting locally and opening their Head Office in Littleborough.

Pleased to meet @Tom_Besford this morning and support his campaign to protect Pembroke Park in Littleborough. He has worked tirelessly with local residents to defend this protected open space. On 2nd May vote for your local champion Tom Besford and vote Andy for Mayor.

Rochdale CLP wish to express our appreciation, good wishes, and affection for our MP Tony Lloyd following his statement earlier this week. The sentiments are those of members across the CLP. Thank you Tony, you have made this world a better place for so many people ❤️❤️❤️

Chamber House Solar Farm in Heywood is a fantastic Labour Council scheme 🌹 Just imagine what Labour in Government could do to make Britain a clean energy superpower. We’ll cut bills, create jobs and deliver energy security 🌱

Unfortunately I was unable to vote on the ceasefire motion as I was in hospital receiving chemotherapy. My position is clear: I will continue to work towards pressuring our government for a ceasefire to safeguard innocent civilians and achieve peace.

Exciting day at #labourconference - snaps from the @UK_Music panel featuring @tom_watson @KevinBrennanMP and @KeeleyMP. In for @ThangamMP and @Ed_Miliband speeches and supporting @elsieblundell in a housing fringe event. So many fantastic ideas for the next Labour government. 🌹
