So proud to have been unanimously re-selected as the Labour candidate for North Heywood in readiness for local elections on 4th May.
I asked people to judge me on my actions and I hope they have seen me working hard for local people and our community over the last 12 months 🙏
Yesterday we lost a true statesman. Sir Tony Lloyd was a man of great principle, integrity, courage, intelligence and compassion.
I am grateful to have known him as a friend for many years and to have had the privilege to work for him more recently.
May he rest in eternal peace.
I was honoured to be asked to do a reading at The Civic Sunday Service today
