2 May is 28 years since I was first elected to public office as a Councillor on Tameside Council at the tender age of 21. Itโs almost 19 years since being elected as MP, too.
Thanks for all your support along the way!
I was proud to speak on behalf of music and sports fans at the latest DMCC Bill debate.
The Governmentโs shameful vote against Amendment 104 is in effect a vote in favour of ticket touts and to continue the online black market on sites such as viagogo.

But why didnโt you do this in April 23 when Sir Brian Langstaff Infected Blood Inquiry made his final recommendations on compensation & told the Government to start paying by the end of 23 . Why did it take the Government being defeated in UK House of Commons in December to force you to act?
๐ Iโve presented a petition on behalf of people in Glasgow North, calling on the UK govt to implement the #InfectedBlood Inquiry recommendations without delay. Infected Blood Inquiry Terrence Higgins Trust
๐ฝ๏ธ Yesterday I delivered a petition signed by my constituents in Worsley and Eccles South urging the government finally to implement the recommendations of the Infected Blood Inquiry and provide redress for the victims of the #InfectedBloodScandal .

Thanks to Chris Bryant for making the case so vividly about ticket touts who rip off the public and the music industry. The next The Labour Party government will end this exploitation. Thanks to Sharon Hodgson MP for her determined campaigning on this - proudly Labour policy.
The Government did accept a The Labour Party amendment to include within 3 months regulations on the setting up of the compensation body. They did not accept a Judge should be the chair as Sir Brian recommend but are not ruling it out if that person is the best candidate 3/4
This was the original amendment that UK House of Commons agreed to in December 2023 - New Clause 27 - to the Victims and Prisoners Bill. It needed to be changed in House of Lords as it had to cover all 4 nations & more detail was needed on how the arms length body would work 1/4
