I will be holding advice surgeries on the 11th October in Huyton and the 25th of October in Prescot.
These surgeries are an opportunity for you to raise your concerns and discuss any issues that matter to you.
To book an appointment, please contact my office on 07841038914.
🚨BREAKING!🚨
Today the Department for Transport and
@ASLEFunion
agreed a deal to recommend to members and end the strikes.
I promised we’d move fast and fix things and that is what we’ve done.
“Surge pricing” is ticketmaster behaving no better than the touts they say they are protecting us from.
Exploiting supply and demand to charge well well above face value.

It’s my last day working for the Labour Party. It’s been a huge privilege to work under the leadership of Keir & Angela. I truly value the friendship I have had from across the movement. I’ll continue to do all I can to work for a Labour victory as I take up new opportunities.
It’s the honour of my life to be Labour’s candidate for Knowsley.
Thank you to members.
Thanks
@LouHarbour
&
@ryan_wain
for a comradely contest.
Thanks to George Howarth MP for his service.
Unions, I will fight for us in Parliament.
Knowsley, I wont let you down.
Could not be more pleased

“In 1945, out of the ruins of war, it was a Labour gov - rebuilt our country. Built our NHS. Built the welfare state.And transformed Britain, and the lives of the British people, forever. We did it once, and we can do it again.”

Knowsley and its people made me who I am.
It's where I was born and raised and means the world to me.
That's why I'm standing to be our Labour candidate.
Harold Wilson brought Ford’s to Halewood with a Government grant. My Dad got a secure, well-paid, unionised job there. We saved to buy a house. My Mum trained to be a social worker. Our lives got better under Labour. Now a kid from Cantril Farm is the Labour candidate for
Coming from a die-hard Labour area, Knowsley, had you told me 40 years ago I’d be introducing the Conservative manifesto, I wouldn’t have believed you.
But it’s the
@Conservatives
that expand opportunity to people from my background.
Socialists always run out of our money.
Clocks gone back. If you could turn the clock back & have a chance to change it what would it be?
I would go back to 2007, with evidence from the future & get Gordon Brown to call a General Election.
I'm proud to be the
@UKLabour
candidate for Knowsley. The place where I was born & bought up.
I will be campaigning for every single vote.
Knowsley needs a Labour Government.
On 4 July we have the chance to vote for the change we need. Let’s campaign for it together.
Bad. It is completely undemocratic, over 200 MPs are unable to attend & so can't vote. That means their constituents are not being represented during this unprecedented time. All for a circus.
Mr Speaker & House authorities have worked incredibly hard to ensure
@Jacob_Rees_Mogg
crazy plan to force all MPs regardless of their shielding responsibilities to vote in person if they wish to take part in votes can happen socially distanced. Surely time to think again.
“When you look back to 1945, 1964 and 1997 you learn an important lesson....Don’t look back. Look to the future. We need to be thinking about the questions of 2024 and the 2030s….not the questions of the past.”

A story of class and power in this country. The balance needs to be redressed.
My first week in Parliament. I’ve spent it learning the ropes & preparing how I best work for you.
I’m setting up my office & recruiting staff. It will take a little time. My email address is anneliese.midgley.mp

Thank you to the team of volunteers, Cllrs & my friends & family.
Most of all thank you to the 1,000s of we spoke to during the campaign. I have heard what you have had to say & I will use what I have learnt from you to deliver for Knowsley.
The trade union movement has shaped who I am. It is why I am in the Labour Party, it is the political wing of our movement. I am humbled to have all 11 affiliated unions support for Knowsley.
In
@Keir_Starmer
speech today he calls for the Government to:
Stop the planned cut in universal credit.
Back local government by giving it the money it needs.
Give our key workers the pay rise they deserve.
Extend the ban on evictions and repossessions.
For the people of Northern Ireland, this is not the latest episode in a Brexit drama - this is a profoundly worrying moment that will shape their livelihoods, their businesses and their future.
It reopens the uncertainty they hoped had been settled.
Thanks so much everyone for your lovely messages on here & by text. You’re dead kind. I will do my best.

Sick of seeing men on here who have harrassed, sexually harrassed, bullied, disrespected myself and/or other women posting messages of “solidarity”.
1. Sort yourselves out.
2. Shut up for once.
The people have spoken. So, we decided to actually do it.
Our limited edition beer is available now for pre-sale;
All proceeds will go to funding our production of free sanitiser for the NHS & Health care charities.
Yesterday the King said “my Government will introduce a New Deal for Working People”. A policy package I have worked so hard on for years & will transform peoples lives. This is what happens when Labour are in power.
Out round Custley Hey in Stockbridge Village tonight.
We got a watm response on the doorsteps. People can’t wait to vote for Change next week.
🗳️Vote Labour Thursday 4 July.
Our party was founded by the trade union movement.
I’ve been a trade unionist all my working life.
Proud to have the support of so many of our affiliated trade unions, this early on, who have put their trust in me to best represent their members in Knowsley.
Today is a good day.
It’s easier to be a parent this morning.
Character MATTERS.
Being a good person MATTERS.
This is a big deal.
It’s easy to do it the cheap way and get away with stuff — but it comes back around.
Today is a good day.

Devastating to see the violence & destruction in Liverpool yesterday & overnight.
It is sickening to see this thuggery, racism, islamophobia & criminality in our region. Bigotry & hate has no place in our city.
Thank you to the police & the emergency services.
Thank you to
I’ve changed my twitter picture from me wearing a mask because I was getting grim DMs from men, all strangers, with reference to it. I would not normally say this stuff in public- we all get unwelcome DMs but this was bad. Needs to stop.
Going to a pub on Wednesday. On the Food menu they have added “& chips” to every single starter or “favourites” as they are now known. No price difference just “& chips”.

Most of the people saying that train drivers are paid too much are paid too much.
They seem to have a problem with working class people being in good unionised jobs with a decent salary.
