'I am confident this will allow even more people the opportunity to rebuild their lives.”

A very sunny Wednesday evening in Cottingley! 🌞 Myself and Shaf Ali attended the always friendly TRAC meeting. Great to welcome Shaf officially, I gave an update on the bus stop audit and picked up a few bits and pieces of casework to take away!

Tom has been a phenomenal force for good across our city, we’ll certainly feel his loss as he leaves such as significant legacy in Leeds.

Delighted to be recognised in the #WRCommunityAwards24 !

Thanks to the team at White Rose for your support of Child Friendly Leeds, we look forward to continuing to work with you!

We need an immediate ceasefire, release of hostages and unimpeded aid to Gaza.

It's great to be back at the Civic today for the first Labour Group meeting post-elections. Looking forward to welcoming our new colleagues and catching up with old! 🌹🦉 #LeedsLabour

Great to be out as the local Labour team in Holbeck this afternoon, thanks to everyone who took the time to talk to us!

Great to be in Holbeck this afternoon talking to residents and leafleting! #teamlabour #labourdoorstep

Sunny Holbeck 🌞 out this afternoon chatting to residents about any issues or concerns they have locally and where we can help! #LabourDoorstep 🌹

Franchising may take time, but we’re not standing still! We're already delivering better buses across West Yorkshire through:

💰 £2 capped Mayor's Fares
🕔 More buses, more often
🚌 Upgraded stops, shelters and stations

and much more! For more info: westyorks-ca.gov.uk/improving-buses

Yesterday I unveiled the UK’s 1st city centre based World Peace Flame in Park Square. This locally crafted & thought provoking monument is a fabulous addition to a beautiful part of our city

Proud to speak in full council this week. Pot holes may feel a local politics cliché but they are another stark example of how this Tory government makes cut after cut to our public services.

What happens when we call it out in the chamber? They stoop to playground name calling.

A big thank you to Hamara Centre & Leeds United Foundation for hosting their annual community Iftar at Elland Road 🌙

We had a lovely Child Friendly Leeds time! Andrew Scopes Cllr Annie Maloney Farrah Khan MBE🌈🤎✌ Julie Longworth

We're now discussing this White Paper. Astounding that both the Tories and Lib Dems are saying they see this as the number one priority... not housing or the cost of living crisis.

Great to hear Cllr Annie Maloney speaking about the reasons why we're behind where we want to be!

Super evening at the Centenary Pavilion Elland Road at a community Iftar (breaking of the fast meal) organised by the Hamara Healthy Living Centre and the Leeds United Foundation!

📸 Shaf Ali, Cllr Annie Maloney and me.

Chatting to residents in Beeston this afternoon! One lovely gentleman said with a name like Maloney, I shouldn't be working but out celebrating Paddy's. I promised by 4pm I'd have a Guinness in hand and watching the Leeds game...well I'm a politican that sticks to her word! ☘️🍻

I am very proud to represent such a large and vibrant Irish community in Islington North.

Wishing you, and Irish people around the world, a very happy St. Patrick’s Day.

Lá Fhéile Pádraig sona duit!

Great to be on the #labourdoorstep in the Sunny Southleighs 😎 talking to residents with Cllr Annie Maloney and Shaf Ali. #TeamLabour

BREAKING: I’ve just announced my decision to bring West Yorkshire's buses back under public control!

When I was elected in 2021, I pledged to improve your bus services – and this is a huge step forward to creating the bus service that you deserve.
