My latest column this month focused on football ownership and the fan-led review.

Conservative minister in charge of sport tells Rugby League event that Jonny Wilkinson's 2003 drop goal against Australia was a highlight of ... Rugby League... this is a measure of how much the Tories know or care about anything in Northern England... https://twitter.com/danroan/status/1542503588559085569
AUDIO of gaffe by Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries during speech at a Rugby League World Cup social impact event in St Helens earlier.
“I’ve always quite liked the idea of rugby league - my long-standing memory is that 2003 drop-goal… Wow, what a moment that was.” Listen 👇
Labour will re-energise Britain.
The closure of Harvey Nursery sees the last council-led nursery in our borough close.
Sadly with the Conservative administration in Bolton we are witnessing a policy of managed decline. We need proactive ideas to take our town forward.

The courts backlog in Bolton means one thing - the Conservative government are failing victims of crime.
With criminal barristers on strike, and the English legal system bursting at the seams, it is high time for the Government to act

.@AngelaRayner wiped the floor with Dominic Raab at #PMQs. Tax rises, struggling families and broken promises - how much more will Tory MPs tolerate before they tell Boris Johnson enough is enough.
No PM for today's #PMQs so Raab standing in. This is a man who once said food bank users are not in poverty but simply have a cash flow problem.
This is an endemic problem within the Tory party - the needs of working people are an afterthought.
You’d think no one could stoop so low, but yes, Lee Anderson heard those facts and then blamed me for ‘encouraging men’ to commit rape.
Ashfield deserves better. What a desperate state the Conservatives are. https://twitter.com/rachaelvenables/status/1541835842829819904
Tory MP Lee Anderson accused Labour’s @SarahOwen_ of “encouraging” men to commit sexual assaults - because she pointed out that just 1.6% of rape reports to police end in a prosecution.
A great visit to @kingsdentistry yesterday alongside members of the APPG for Dentistry and Oral Health. Access to adequate dental care is of great concern to me and my constituents and I will continue to keep campaigning on this issue
Delighted to meet students and staff @kingsdentistry alongside MPs from the APPG for Dentistry and Oral Health.
The country faces an access crisis and widening oral health inequality.
We cannot tackle these challenges if these young dentists cannot see their futures in the NHS.
Great to see that planning permission has been granted for the Bolton College of Medical Sciences.
Pleased to have supported funding for this project and work can now commence.

Great article from @Keir_Starmer showing how Labour are now a govt in waiting - with a clear vision to address the crises facing Britain
Looking ahead to the next general election, Labour are firmly on the path to Government and putting Keir into No10

Another dentistry question which the DHSC cannot answer in the time period
This is a straight forward question which the Minister should be able to answer
It is very concerning that the Minister cannot answer what they are doing to recruit dentists and reduce the backlog
Undoubtedly one of the best parts of my job is visiting primary and secondary schools in my constituency to talk about my role as their representative and give my own insight into how politics work and my experiences.
Great news to start the day. 🌹
Congratulations to @simonlightwood!
The new Labour MP for Wakefield. 🌹
Great day out on the #LabourDoorstep in Wakefield today supporting our candidate @simonlightwood in getting out the vote.
Lots of positive responses and looking forward to the result later tonight
Very sad to hear about the passing of Cliff Morris, a hard working and well respected former Cllr and leader of Bolton Council. Rest in peace, Cliff.
Tributes to long serving ex-Bolton Council leader Cliff Morris who has died at age of 80 https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/20231503.former-bolton-council-leader-cliff-morris-dies-aged-80/?ref=twtrec
Inflation at 9.1% today. Working people can't take this strain for much longer. Many seem to opine that the cost of living crisis it's already at its worst point- wrong. From what I see in Bolton South East, it's only set to get worse. Govt must act and soon
NEW: Inflation up at 9.1% today.
Inflation is pushing family finances to the brink - but the low wage spiral many face isn’t new.
It’s a result of a decade of Tory mismanagement of our economy.
Labour will build the high wage, high growth, stable inflation economy we deserve.
"these are Labour's strikes" - you are the Government. Get around the table and sort this out rather than sewing division.
Nothing to see here, just a Labour whip joining a picket line as millions of people have their lives disrupted.
When we say these are Labour’s strikes, this is exactly what we mean.

Today's @UKLabour Opposition Day debate focuses partly on dentistry services. Interesting that DHSC couldn't give me these statistics ahead of the debate, almost like they're trying to hide something, like a significant fall in overall dentist numbers perhaps?
An honour to be invited to Bolton Town Hall today. Alongside others from our community I attended to commemorate Armed Forces Day and it was a very moving event.
Our armed forces make a huge commitment to protect Britain and our fellow citizens.
Happy birthday to @ManchesterMill @joshi @danithecole.
Reading through the newsletter and it is great to see the success
Long-form in-depth journalism, of the "slow" kind, rather than usual fast paced reporting has a critical place in the wider media

Six years ago today the person we loved most in the world was taken from us. Our family’s wish is that on this day we remember what we have in common, even with those we might disagree with. And to emphasise what connects us rather than what divides us. #MoreInCommon
Labour in power leading the way - as always. This support is vital and bringing forward fare capping will support so many in our city region
Good morning, Greater Manchester.👇🏻😉
Tells you all you need to know about Johnson.
🚨 BREAKING: Lord Geidt has resigned as the PM’s ethics advisor.
Made a point of order after #PMQs to challenge Johnson's ridiculous claim that @Keir_Starmer and @UKLabour are supporters of "people traffickers".
It's complete rubbish and an outright lie (standard form for the PM). He needs to correct the record.
Just presented my Private Member's Bill to the House of Commons. Second reading of the Employment Relations (Flexible Working) Bill will be on Friday 28th October
Looking forward to presenting my Private Member's Bill later on today. It will allow workers to make flexible working arrangements and I hope it will redefine our workplace for the better, supporting carers, women, disabled people, parents/single parents, and older people.
From maternity rights to terminal illness support – my @TheHouseMag run-down of the 20 Private Members' Bills being introduced today by MPs who were drawn in the ballot last month: https://www.politicshome.com/thehouse/article/from-maternity-rights-to-terminal-illness-support-the-house-guide-to-2022-private-members-bills
Over the last 12 years the Conservatives have turned Britain into a low growth and high tax economy #PMQs

Getting excited? What better way to celebrate 75 years of 🇬🇧🇵🇰 than the return of @englandcricket. Good to firm up plans for 7 T20s & 3 Tests this Autumn with @iramizraja & @TheRealPCB #EkSaath75 https://twitter.com/TheRealPCB/status/1536645578632925184
.@CTurnerFCDO and @iramizraja are excited that England cricket teams and their supporters will be touring Pakistan later this year 👏

As Chair of @appghajjumrah I'm very concerned by the implications of changes to the booking system for thousands of potential Hajj pilgrims across the country. In the last week, we've been making representations to relevant parties including the @UK_CAA

Justice for #Primodos continues to be dragged out by the Govt. The Cumberlege review had forced the Govt to apologise but still they continue to side-line and ignore, long suffering families
Please support crowd funding legal action against Bayer & Govt.

Economically illiterate - imagine if this was a Labour government? Kudos to the FT for splashing.
NEW: Rishi Sunak had been accused of costing taxpayers £11bn by failing to insure billions of pounds of reserves against interest rate rises

Pathetic response from the Government minister here. Well done Wes for standing up for unions and workers @wesstreeting
“Of course they’re fighting for their terms and conditions”
“I don’t want to see us return to the 1970s where the country and the economy get shut down by militant strikes”
On tonight’s #bbcqt, @wesstreeting and @cphilpofficial clash over transport strikes.
10.40pm on @BBCOne
Contributed to Labour's Opposition Day debate on Children's Recovery and the Cost of Childcare this week. The first 1,000 days of any child's life is crucial to their development and even more so in the case of children from lower socio-economic backgrounds.
Sounds a little bit like “know your place” to me.
The NHS is in tatters. Keir is right, we've got a "wanting and inadequate" Government who are unable to address the issues of today. 12 years of Tory rule. 12 long years. #PMQs
Quite amusing to see Cabinet Ministers, PPSes etc passing Johnson notes or whispering advice in his ear.
He needs all the help he can get but even that won't cut it for him. Inept #PMQs
"Strong and robust economy" - growth has been revised down, interest rates up, BoE predicting recession, inflation soaring
Is the PM living in an alternate reality? #PMQs
The PM claims that he has "picked up enemies" over the years, bit of an understatement. 148 are sat behind him and the country loathe him #PMQs
My reaction to the PM's confidence vote last night
I've said it before - this Govt is paralysed by indecision and inaction as it seeks to preserve Johnson's pathetic premiership
@UKLabour are winning the battle of ideas and stand ready to support working families
@AdamBienkov My local A&E last night.
Getting emails and calls from a significant number of constituents who still haven't had their energy rebate.
When Tory MPs say they will now get on with the job, can they put giving out what they promised on their to-do list?
41% of Conservative MPs don't have faith in Boris Johnson as Prime Minister. Let that sink in
Today marks the start of #CarersWeek and as a carer myself I'm pleased to be a Parliamentary Champion for @CarersUK to ensure people looking after their loved ones no longer feel forgotten. We must do more to help make caring become visible, valued and supported💙
As the news agenda moves to focus on a no confidence vote in our embarrassment of a Prime Minister, in Bolton South East my constituents face stress and anxieties like no other as the cost of living crisis deepens.
