This week in Parliament

Good to be back in Westminster for the start of a new parliamentary session as the prorogation was ended by the State Opening of Parliament. Here’s a small taster of what I got up to

𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗴’𝘀 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗲𝗰𝗵

From delivering the Hillsborough Law, to enacting Votes at 16, nationalising British Steel, and fixing the broken leasehold & commonhold system for good; the King’s Speech set out an ambitious legislative programme focusing on economic resilience, stronger public services, energy security, and restoring trust in politics.

A good week for the co-op as Bills covering longstanding co-operative priorities were announced in the King’s Speech such as new measures to enhance financial services with new provisions for credit unions, protections against ticket touting, and commonhold to change the housing system for the better.

It’s been a long campaign across many governments, but now all councillors will get the protection for their home addresses they deserve. Legislation has now passed which removes ambiguity and strengthens safety in public life. A step in the right direction

Now back up home to Oldham.
