Labour Member of Parliament for Macclesfield. Tweeting in a personal capacity. [email protected]
Joined August 2011
It was a privilege to welcome @Keir_Starmer to Bollington. Across the Macclesfield area, people want to turn the page on 14 years of Tory failure. But change will only come if we vote for it on July 4th 🗳🌹

People have a right to peaceful protest. It is core to our country’s values. But we will not stand for assaults on police officers doing their job or for people feeling intimidated on our streets because of their background or the colour of their skin. Britain is a nation

We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.
