Bury North is my family’s home town
I want for your family everything I want for mine
Across our town we play by the rules to make ends meet
We know its tough
We know many more have it even tougher
Our country is going backwards
After 14 years of this Tory government, what works? What’s got better?
Families are struggling with the cost of living crisis
Ordinary working people, hammered with the highest taxes in 80 years
Public Services have become Public Struggles
The NHS is in crisis, waiting times are up, getting a GP appointment gets harder
People are hard up, fed up but we mustn’t give up
My faith in our town remains
We need an MP that unites
One that champions you and our town
More money in your pocket
Public services back on their feet, fit for the future
Our schools need investment, and a plan for every child
Children with special educational needs need specialism and real educational care
Bury businesses need backing not burdening, whether they’re start up or scale-up
The green jobs of the future must come to Bury first
We must take back our streets from anti-social behaviour and crime
Labour has changed and is ready to change Britain
To make everyday life better for everyone
To raise the floor on which we all stand
You know I am on your side
Together, we:
Saved the walk-in centre;
Funded our Hospice;
Got the country behind saving Bury FC
I’ve secured life-saving drugs for Bury families on the NHS;
Championed local jobs;
And I’m still fighting the inequalities in education
Let’s move forward after these damaging Tory years
Bury and Britain needs change, not more of the same
It’s a clear choice between a changed Labour Party and the same old Tories
We can build a better future
It’s time for a fresh start
Bury and Britain needs change
I am change Bury North can trust
And I am determined to deliver it, so that everyone of us can thrive.

Today, the Prime Minister and @YvetteCooperMP met staff preparing for winter at Watford General Hospital.
Our new £40 million programme will help ease pressure during winter, supporting GPs to keep vulnerable people well at home, and reducing preventable hospital admissions.

Great to see coverage of our big win with @dadshiftuk and @onthetoolstv to expand paternity support to self employed dads 👶
I know this will make a big difference to the families impacted, who’ve been overlooked for far too long ✅
I’m so proud Ashley has accepted this role. She’ll be a continued inspiration to me and everyone tasked with making the National Cancer Plan a success. Welcome - back - aboard @AshleyDalton_MP 💙🤍
I'm delighted to have been appointed as the Advisor for the National Cancer Plan!
I'll be highlighting where delivery is off track and further intervention may be needed and assessing whether the Plan is delivering improvements in quality of life and patient experience.

If you catch flu and you have a certain long term health condition, you are at a much higher risk of falling seriously ill or being hospitalised.
Give yourself the best protection with the flu vaccine.

3. There's £10m for Bury to reopen it's indoor market, which was forced to close suddenly in 2023 after RAAC concrete was discovered.
Local MP @JamesFrith says it can make a huge difference to the town:

We've made it faster to set up commercial clinical trials, from the submission for approval to the first patient approved.
@JamesFrith visited @NHSBartsHealth to see a clinical trial in action, meet participants and speak to staff involved in this cutting-edge research.

Great discussion with @JamesFrith MP! Inspiring to see his passion for turning healthcare innovation into patient care.

51% of Jewish teachers - many of them NEU members - experienced antisemitism in school in the past year.
Fixing this starts with defining the problem. IHRA spotlights the insidious and often subtle nature of antisemitism. It doesn't stifle criticism of the government of Israel.

No one should have to risk their health or, in the worst cases, their lives at the hands of cosmetic cowboys.
People deserve proper care not to be exploited as a way to make quick money.
Our new rules will ensure high-risk procedures are only carried out by properly trained professionals, protect under-18s and hold rogue providers to account.
