19 Jun 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“2/3 The result in Makerfield showed last night that our country desperately wants the change that was promised to them during our 2024 GE campaign. Sadly, to date despite us delivering many positive things, the pace of change has not been enough and has not spoken to our traditional Labour values.”↗
19 Jun 2026MP & Parliamentmeasured“I think the Prime Minister needs to set out a timetable for his departure and make way for a new leader, which I believe should be Andy Burnham. 1/3”↗
19 Jun 2026Culture & Communitycelebratory“I recently had the pleasure of attending an event at Liverpool Museum to celebrate Jewish history month.

15 Jun 2026Housing & Planningmeasured“2/2 Whilst I welcome the govt’s commitment to invest £39b in social and affordable housing over the next 10yrs, it’s clear we also need to think more ambitiously and creatively about how to tackle the housing crisis. Council housing and bringing empty homes back into use must be part of the answer.”↗
15 Jun 2026Housing & Planningmeasured“There is a desperate shortage of genuinely affordable housing in this country with people often priced out of either owning or renting in their local area. In Liverpool Wavertree only just over 3% of privately rented properties are affordable for people reliant on housing benefit. 1/2”↗
