Wishing everyone across Chadderton a Happy Chadderton Day.

I’m delighted that we succeeded in securing Chadderton’s rightful place in the name of the parliamentary constituency. As the constituency’s second largest town it was always wrong not to have it represented.

Chadderton Historical Society are due significant praise for the longstanding work they did to support the cause, never failing to speak up to the boundary commission when the time came. It’s a nice win to chalk up.

Hope you all have a great day whether it’s going along to the final moments of celebrations at Foxdenton Hall and park, visiting one of the towns other great parks like Chadderton Hall Park, or a walk down the Rochdale Canal, enjoying a local pub, or anything else the area has to offer.

A late night but I wanted to say thank you to the 13,232 people across Oldham West, Chadderton and Royton who placed their vote with Labour and Co-operative.

After 14 long years it’s time for change, and I’m delighted to be part of bringing that to our borough.

Thank you to our amazing members for everything. We’ve asked a lot of them and knocked on thousands of doors and hand delivered many more thousands of letters and leaflets.

And a thank you to the elections staff at the count and polling stations for working to support our democracy.

Now home…

I had a brilliant time yesterday visiting Fitton Hill Bulldogs, thank you for having me.

We discussed the clubs plans for the future and how they want the club to be a hub for the community on Fitton Hill.

I commend the great work that is being done, which sets an example of the potential community institutions like this have to empower neighbourhoods and bring local people together.

I spent some time in Birmingham this week speaking to the Co-operative Party and at the Co-op Congress about our priorities for government.

The four key themes were co-operative growth, local ownership, community energy and safer high streets; with plans for achieving each endorsed in Labour’s manifesto.

As the Chair of the Co-operative Party, I am passionate about our plans and excited for what a Labour and Co-op government could do to effect co-operative change which could transform the lives of people all around Britain.

I spoke with some brilliant people today at the Meeting Point at South Chadderton Methodist Church.

Thank you for having me and thank you for the good work you do at this event to help local people and to bring the community together every Wednesday.

Keep up the great work!

It has been a privilege to represent the communities of Oldham West, Chadderton and Royton for over the last 8 years in Parliament.

After filing my nomination papers, I am officially the Labour Party’s General Election Candidate for Oldham West, Chadderton and Royton.

Only 4 weeks until polling day. Bring on 4th July!

Parliament has now been dissolved until after the General Election meaning there are no Members of Parliament sitting during this period.

In the time since I was elected in 2015, my local office has been supporting over 8000 cases per year and we are proud of the hard work undertaken on behalf of constituents.

Due to strict rules, the constituency office will only be able to offer very limited support for outstanding urgent casework, with the Parliamentary email system not being in use.

Any emails which relate to the election campaign will not be answered, instead constituents should use jim@jimmcmahon.co.uk which will be monitored throughout the election campaign.

I am now the Labour and Co-op candidate for Oldham West, Chadderton and Royton. Thank you!

Promoted by Kyle Phythian on behalf of Jim McMahon both at Oldham Labour Party, Kershaw Road, Failsworth, M35 9PU.

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.
