@AllisonPearson Look at your own language - in this case baselessly aimed at me - a woman in public life who has also faced serious threats - alleging I have blood on my hands. That’s very inflamma...

@AllisonPearson Quote tweeting me and implying I have blood on my hands (for paying tribute to Ann) - what do you think the effect of that is?

Earlier today I paid tribute to Ann Widdecombe, called for more civility in political debate and for further action to tackle hate propagated online. https://t.co/58cGFI8Fb3

A really important visit to Bridge College last week. Bridge is a specialist higher education provision in East Manchester - it was good to listen to students about their first hand experiences an...

Good

Thanks as ever to our fire crews and service. Unfortunately these types on fires are becoming more common. There’s a very noticeable smell and smog across Manchester this morning too as a result....

Delighted to speak at @gsjosan's fundraiser at West Bromwich Albion last Thursday to raise vital funds, thank members and councillors, with a special thanks to those who lost their seats in May. h...

Got there in the end! Well done.

Amazing visit on Friday to the new dedicated women's team facilities at @ManCity and meet legend Vivianne Miedema! Also very impressed with the new north stand facilities, new City hotel and Medlo...

The sunshiiiine doesn’t stop us campaigning for the brilliant @bevcraig for Greater Manchester. Her pledge to extend free bus travel to 11-18 year olds is game-changing. https://t.co/DuYDgHjwYP

Great to be at the Beacon Centre in Clayton today for the inaugural Pride in Place board meeting. What fantastic board members we have. Pride in place - covering Newton Heath and Clayton - will f...

What an incredible story and result. Unbelievable!

Reform’s attempt to distract from their own failings won’t wash. We can all see this for exactly what it is. If Farage was so confident he had abided by the rules and had legal advice to that eff...

FYI - a parliamentary standards inquiry continues whether you’re in the House or not …

Incredibly sad news about George Howarth. He was a lovely man-highly political, values-driven & rooted in his community & family. He was a constant presence in Parliament for the near 40 years as a...

The Elections Bill does great things like votes at 16 & tackling foreign donations. It’s also a chance to protect democracy in the digital age. Online platforms play a central role in how peopl...

Transparency and donations rules for MPs are really important. They exist for everyone - it’s not one rule for Farage, another for the rest of us. It’s vital his failure to declare these further gi...

Protecting free and fair elections is above party politics. We all have a stake in ensuring that elections are decided by informed voters—not by bots, manipulated algorithms or foreign interference...

Online platforms play a central role in our democratic debate. They must also accept responsibilities that reflect that influence. Talking to @LBC about why we need stronger protections for our d...
