It was great to appear on BBC Politics North West on Sunday morning to put forward Labour’s plans to end the cost-of-living crisis, rebuild our public services, and get Britain’s future back.
No amount of Tory unfunded spending commitments will make up for the chaos and cost working people have paid thanks to the Conservatives. After party-gate, the mini-budget market crash and years of record high waiting lists, the country is ready to turn the page on 14 long years of Tory government.
Making sure we can have pride in our communities has always been a driving passion of mine in the 20+ years I have been in public life.
That is why for the people of Oldham West, Chadderton and Royton, if re-elected as your Labour & Co-op MP, I have a plan for creating a thriving local economy, providing decent homes, ensuring a safe place, and fostering community ownership.
Achieving these will require increasing the number of decent, well-paid jobs; increasing the amount of police on the street to address both incidents and causes of violent crime; tackling HMOs and poor quality housing with family homes for local people; and safeguarding heritage, community venues, and sports grounds.
Our changed Labour party is for stability over chaos, for service over self-interest and for change over more of the same. Labour is ready to fight for every single vote at the General Election on 4th July.
