Arthur Rostron was a true Bolton hero. I remember reading about him at school. Find out about his incredible rescue ⬇️

🧵Pathetic undermining of the rules-based, international order by the Trump administration. The US doesn’t recognise the ICC, yet feels emboldened to impose financial sanctions which impede its role as the ultimate arbiter of international law.

Particularly pleased to see the renewed focus on hybrid threats and regional growth. Berlin remains one of our strongest allies. Long may that continue.

Well done Mark! 👏🏻

Bit rich with the Russian stamp on that envelope, coming from the Tories who were more than happy to accept sizeable donations from Lubov Chernukhin, Alexander Temerko etc. Unforgivable and unforgettable.

Cutting jobs at the Environment Agency after a summer of wildfires. Which would never raise the £700m Kemi claims. How much do the Tories think EA staff get paid? All to subsidise childcare for six figure earners. Utterly delusional

Thank you to the dedicated civil servants who have produced a very strong blueprint, and to every frontline officer involved in enforcement activity. If you have information about illegality on the high street, please pass it on to the police.

But I wanted to see how this strategy will make a real difference on our streets. So a few days later I joined Greater Manchester Police and Bolton Council's Trading Standards in Horwich as part of Operation Avro, targeting rogue businesses after constituents raised concerns with me about illicit

As Chair of the APPG on Anti-Corruption and Responsible Tax, I welcome the real ambition here: £550 million of investment over three years, 500 new officers across law enforcement and justice, a new national Financial Intelligence Service, and stronger closure powers for dodgy shops.

Two weeks ago, I was at the National Crime Agency for the launch of the Government's new Anti-Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Strategy, where I met with NCA Director General Graeme Biggar CBE.

due to us losing collaboration with our European Partners. We will be stronger working together and I look forward to seeing the future proposals.

Crucially, pensioners who only receive the state pension will not need to pay for their care. Finally, as someone who studied under the ERASMUS scheme, I know how vital our links with Europe are. Since Brexit our control over immigration weakened and Andy was correct in saying that this was partly

One of the most exciting announcements by Andy Burnham was that a National Care Service will be formed which will take some of the pressures off the NHS. Tied to this will be changes to triple lock pensions from 2030, though they will continue to rise every year in line with prices or by 2.5%.
