☎️ 470,000 mental health 999 calls each year.
🚑 Thousands going to A&E in a mental health crisis.

The Government needs to get a grip of the mental health crisis across our country.
There’s a crisis in GP access and dentistry. People are struggling to get appointments. You can read my speech here https://tinyurl.com/yjtwj5sx
Stephen has to pay £160 for Animal Health Certificate & vaccines for #assistancedog Jodie to travel to an EU country. Here's my interview with @MattChorley on @TimesRadio about why people like Stephen need to regain their freedom to travel @guidedogs https://tinyurl.com/3kp8m6r2

On national #ArmedForcesDay, I would like to thank members of our armed forces and veterans for their dedication and commitment to protect and serve our country and their preparedness to make the ultimate sacrifice. https://www.armedforcesday.org.uk/
Passport delays are a result of gov't incompetence. So have been in touch with my office about this. The government needs to sort this mess out and make sure that the passport office has the resources it needs to deliver a reliable service. https://tinyurl.com/5uvfhpzy
People are struggling to get GP and dentist appointments. This government is running down our public services. They need to come forward with a plan to tackle this. So many people are suffering https://www.wirralglobe.co.uk/news/20230116.wirral-west-mp-calls-government-fix-gp-access-crisis/
“I was on the picket line this morning…I’ve never known morale so low”
This @RMTUnion member says there’s no “plan in place” for ticket office workers like him and he’s concerned for passenger safety if staff are cut. #bbcqt

Stephen has to pay £160 for an Animal Health Certificate & vaccines to his assistance dog Jodie to an EU country. I have raised this issue in Parliament & followed up with a letter to the minister. Gov't must make every effort to resolve this issue. https://tinyurl.com/3drsb7tn

Congratulations to @simonlightwood!
The new Labour MP for Wakefield. 🌹
The gov’t should ban #Fracking & underground coal gasification. Instead, they’ve asked the British Geological Survey to advise on scientific evidence on shale gas extraction. Exploring the extraction of fossil fuels is an absurd and irresponsible response to the climate crisis.
I stand with @RMTunion workers fighting for pay & conditions and opposing redundancies. Lots of support from passers by.
In Parliament, I just called out the Government's disgusting smear campaign against railway cleaners, rail ticket office staff and the maintenance workers who keep our railways safe.
The Government's cynical role in this dispute is appalling.
The same Government that called on the public to boycott P&O for replacing 800 staff with agency workers https://twitter.com/hzeffman/status/1538781507761872896
EXCL: Ministers will this week change the law to allow striking workers to be replaced temporarily by agency staff.
Too late for this week’s RMT strike but likely to be in force by mid-July
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/c0f6ccac-f004-11ec-9bea-abc2bc5953e5?shareToken=3ed7b545a03c735edacc8dc6d3f156fa
Tomorrow, the rail strike will cause chaos for workers, passengers, and schoolchildren.
Tell the Tories to begin urgent talks to avoid the strike before it’s too late.

Wonderful atmosphere at Dane Cottage, Ethelbert Lane, Meols, for the fundraising garden party. Sensational planting! It’s open until 4 , so there’s still time to visit.
The @RMT are making every effort to end this dispute. The government should meet with @RMT as a matter of urgency & try & avert next week's rail strike.
"...In effect in recent weeks the union has been negotiating with the government, but the government have not been in the room..."
@RMTunion call to @grantshapps for a face-to-face meeting to try and avert next weeks #RailStrikes
The government’s Levelling Up bill fails to deliver on public services and fails to deliver the protection for the green belt that people want to see https://tinyurl.com/yc8fxrx7

After 12 years of failure, the Tories have no plan to fix the housing crisis.
Labour would prioritise first time buyers, empower leaseholders and build genuinely affordable homes.

We all have a role to play in helping caring to become visible, valued and supported. Thank you to all who are caring for a loved one, family member or neighbour this Carers Week 2022. 👏👏👏#CarersWeek
Great to be able to attend UNISON’s Year of Disabled Workers event. UNISON is working with over 100 organisations to improve the working lives of disabled people by signing up to the Disability Employment Charter. https://www.disabilityemploymentcharter.org/ for more information
We dedicate this win to Colin Watson and Lucy Mackie whose fearless and tireless fight was fundamental 💛
We also dedicate this win to the flaming bright fighters who burned out along the way 💛
And we also dedicate this win to everyone who objected, protested and donated 💛
This is great news. Congratulations to everyone who campaigned so hard for this 👏👏👏
The government has refused permission for IGas to test its shale gas well at Ellesmere Port 😁
This is a landmark victory against fracking. We fought IGas at a public inquiry on the grounds of climate change and greenhouse gas emissions, and we won!

Thank you to Her Majesty The Queen, the first monarch in British history to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, for her 70 years of service. I hope everyone across Wirral West and beyond has a fantastic Jubilee weekend!
The Government admits disabled people need more support urgently, so it offers a one-off £150 payment. All while they quietly remove disabled people's annual £150 payment through the Warm Home Discount.
This Gov really is all show and no substance – disabled people need both.
Wonderful to see Woodchurch C of E Primary School's 'Life changing Library'. Enjoying books is a great way to relax and improve reading skills at the same time!

Thank you @MGreenwoodWW for citing in parliament the polling we launched today showing that over half of Brits feel their health as worsened due to the rising cost of living.
We need a cross-government strategy to reduce health inequalities now. #EverythingAffectsHealth
I just voted for a windfall tax on oil and gas producers to cut bills
