@lucympowell.bsky.socialWe must ensure that we put our resources into stamping out the appalling hatred of antisemitism that drove the attacker. There must be no place for this kind of hatred.
@lucympowell.bsky.socialA year on from the appalling antisemitic terror attack at Heaton Park Synagogue, my thoughts are with the families of Melvin Cravitz and Adrian Daulby. And all those impacted by the attack, including the wider Jewish community.
@lucympowell.bsky.socialLoved my visit to Gerrard Academy with Steven Gerrard. The Academy has developed a range of great pathways, qualifications and opportunities through football for young people. Steven and his team are doing an incredible job and I was interested to hear how I can help them do even more.
@lucympowell.bsky.socialCongratulations to Michael Marra on being elected leader of Scottish Labour. Commiserations to Joe Fagan too. I look forward to working together to build a strong and united party in Scotland, ready to offer new hope and take on the campaigns ahead.

@lucympowell.bsky.socialIt was great to see so many friends and colleagues at the Welsh Labour fundraiser this week. It’s been a tough year, but the rebuild has begun with Ken Skates MS and the team. (I decided against playing the guitar)
@lucympowell.bsky.socialI hope everyone has a brilliant time at Manchester Pride this weekend!
@lucympowell.bsky.social🚨Every young person will have a fully funded college place if they want one. In the past, colleges couldn’t be certain they’d receive funding if more students turned up. We are changing that. This is a major step in our mission to get more young people into education, work or training.

@lucympowell.bsky.socialEducation should be a passport - to work, to life, to further study. But too many young people are still being shut out.
Everyone deserves an education that matches their high ambitions, not a one‑size‑fits‑all straitjacket.
thetimes.comWe must end this one-size-fits-all approach to educationOur school system has become too single-minded and is stopping children reaching their potential, says the education secretary
@lucympowell.bsky.socialHuge congratulations to @bevcraig.bsky.social our fantastic new Mayor of Greater Manchester. Thank you to our tireless activists who have worked so hard to help deliver this win.
@lucympowell.bsky.socialOnline platforms play a central role in our democratic debate. They must also accept responsibilities that reflect that influence.

@lucympowell.bsky.socialThis first pledge from @bevcraig.bsky.social is going down very well with young people here. This will make public transport more accessible, opening up more opportunities and will ease the cost of living pressures on families
@lucympowell.bsky.socialGreat to welcome the newest member of the PLP, my friend Andy Burnham to Parliament. He'll be a brilliant representative for the people of Makerfield, and I am sure he will quickly make his mark in this place!
@lucympowell.bsky.socialWith England's World Cup campaign kicking off tonight, I want to give a huge shout out to East Manchester's own Nico O'Reilly! He's had an incredible season, including his heroics in the League Cup Final. He's a very well deserved young player of the year. Come on England!

@lucympowell.bsky.socialIt’s hard to believe it’s 10 years since my friend, the amazing, Jo Cox was murdered. I will never forget that moment nor the time after it. It’s still hard to compute. That such a positive, impactful, caring, inclusive woman could be taken in that way for doing her job as an MP, still shocks.
