Jim McMahon OBE MP Jim McMahon MP has been appointed Minister of State in the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities

Congrats to new housing minister, Matthew Pennycook. Shadow for 3 years, he’ll be able to hit the ground running & will need time to make a difference. We know the stat 16 housing ministers in the last 14 years. But there were 9 in 13 yrs under last Labour govt. Longevity needed.

Congratulations Matthew Pennycook MP on your appointment as housing minister. My Chartered Institute of Housing colleagues and I look forward to working with you. There is much to do to end the housing crisis and we & the housing profession are ready to play our part

Please see below a short statement confirming The Labour Party has dismissed the malicious allegation, which was the reason why I stood back from standing at the general election. I would like to thank everyone who have reached out to me and my family since the start of this

LOVED our day at the #paralympics. Great to be with these two - as well as my own two too. Thanks Wenlock, Mandeville and #Phryge (and L and E). Loved the atmosphere, the records tumbling and the opportunity to time travel back to 2012.

We need to #EndYouthHomelessness, a problem that’s getting worse not better. That’s why, with 100s of other property pros (including a fantastic ING Media team), I’ll be trekking 27km next Friday with @landaid to raise vital funds. Please donate if you can join.landaid.org/fundraiser/dam…

Just realised the link says I’ll be trekking North Wales. I didn’t mean to mislead. This time Team ING Media is trekking the slightly less challenging terrain of the North Downs. But we are tackling all 27km in 1 day. So well worthy of support. And if you want to join us, DM me
