The Govt knows the probation service is in crisis. The ESCL scheme is a failure, and it is increasing the risk of public safety. Probation needs proper support and resources, but sadly the Govt doesn’t seem to see the crisis or the impact it’s having on people’s lives

Today is VE day.

Remembering all those brave men and women from Salford and beyond who gave everything to fight for our freedom and make sure we had a future.

We will never forget them.

This picture is VE day celebrations by LS Lowry.

Quoting Napo the Union on early #prison release scheme, Rebecca Long-Bailey calls it “an unmitigated failure [that] represents an increasing risk to public safety” and insists #probation “cannot cope without a significant increase in support and resources – will Govt be providing this?”

Angela Madden and Jane Cowley with Rob Bailey and Peter Aldous MP gave evidence today to the Department for Work and Pensions Select Committee. Good questions. Truthful answers. Parliament must act. #fairandfastcompensation parliamentlive.tv/Event/Index/48…

🏠 When we build social homes, we’re building better lives. We’re building stability. A brighter future.

But right now, we don’t have nearly enough of them.

We need to build good social homes again so a new generation can be proud to say: we are #MadeInSocialHousing .

Today is International Day of the Midwife. Our chance to say a big thank you to all our maternity workforce for their amazing work across Greater Manchester helping to safely delivery around 34,000 babies a year! #GMMaternity #InternationalDayOfTheMidwife

Fantastic set of results in Salford, taking both seats in Ordsall & beating the Tories in Worsley.

I'm so proud of all our Labour candidates who worked hard for every vote & ran a great campaign.
