Every pound spent, every regulation, every decision, must deliver for working people.
That’s the future we’re delivering through our Plan for Change.

I'm grateful to this government for their commitment to Leigh and Atherton through the £20m Plan for Neighbourhoods.
We've already seen cooperative approaches thrive locally, and I look forward to the positive changes we can make for the future.
Decisions about communities should be made by those communities - not just Whitehall.
Whether it's Leigh or Llandudno, @AlexJJNorris and @JoPlattLeigh make the case for real local decision making.

There's so much unsung work in our communities, making real changes to people's lives.
Shoutout to Lynn Hayes, Laura Hopkins, and countless volunteers at the Green Grass Centre on Hag Fold! They offer a discounted food market, courses, and health & well-being classes.

Out on our weekly doorknock again with local Councillors, this time in Leigh South.
We’re out in the community all year round, not just at election time. Talking to residents and listening to their concerns, making sure your voices are always heard.

'Daddy's killed mummy': The heartbreaking reason why this MP is calling for change. Thanks to @JoPlattLeigh for supporting our campaign to protect victims of domestic abuse and to her family for sharing their story @MENnewsdesk

Kemi Badenoch wants tax cuts for the rich, paid for by working people.
Where have we heard that before?

Spiking will be made a criminal offence.
My government was elected to take back our streets, central to this mission is making sure women and girls can feel safe at night.
Perpetrators of spiking will feel the full force of the law.

The government is acting to protect our social housing stock and build more affordable homes.
This weekend we've announced:
✅A £500m top-up to the Affordable Homes Programme.
✅A reduction of Right to Buy discounts.
✅Allowing councils to retain 100% of Right to Buy receipts.

Grassroots music venues offer more than incredible gigs - they’re community spaces, places to come together and do so much more. We can’t let ticket touts put their future at risk, as @JoPlattLeigh makes clear.

Six years ago I challenged the previous Gov on the increase of waiting times for ADHD diagnosis. It got worse!
Lord Darzi’s report laid out how severe the delays for services have become.
Clearing up the mess of the last 14 years is what this government is committed to do.
Waiting times for UK children for NHS assessments for autism & or ADHD are still over 2 years with an estimated for 200,000+ children on waiting lists. These delays increase the risk of other health problems & underachievement
