Proud to be selected as Labour's candidate for my hometown of Macclesfield and all its communities.
Our area has been taken for granted by the Tories for too long. It's time for change.🌹

Westminster planning committee approved the loss of the Squirrel pub tonight. Mainly because of a report that said Covid has made the pub unviable.
Let that sink in.
On that basis all pubs in Britain are unviable.

Local Conservatives refused to help with school uniform costs. But now Labour control the council locally we're deternined to help families with the cost of living crisis.
Just imagine the difference a Labour Government could make.🌹
As well as our new funding for holiday food and activities, Westminster's Labour council is providing new funding to help families with the cost of school uniforms. This summer, Labour's determined to be on the side of residents.

This was a bad budget for Macclesfield:
❌️ Schools still worst funded in England
