This week in Parliament

It’s been another busy week in Parliament standing up for Oldham West, Chadderton & Royton, here’s a snapshot of what I’ve been up to:

I questioned the Treasury in the Commons on the changes to business rates and what they mean for our borough. Our local pubs, cafés & restaurants are the heartbeat of our town centres and they deserve proper support to survive & thrive.

A meeting of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Credit Unions took place, bringing MPs across political divides together to back community finance and practical solutions that work for ordinary people & places like Oldham.

Members also voted on the Medical Training (Prioritisation) Bill, which has now completed its passage through the Commons. A stronger NHS depends on recruiting, training and keeping the staff it needs for the future, with a focus on securing the domestic supply of NHS staff for the long term.

This week we launched the Co-op Party’s Local Elections 2026 campaign, just 100 days out from election day. Community, fairness & cooperation at the heart of everything we are doing to transform Britain.

Now it’s back up North for a weekend of local party meetings, out campaigning, and visiting brilliant projects as part of the Co-op Party’s flagship Community Britain campaign.
