This is such sad news, a real shock to the council, the Labour Party and I'm sure anyone who knew Sue Murphy. 'Manchester will miss Sue.' RIP.

With the Conservative Party in Manchester- on their own measures the Government is failing and our residents suffering . We’ve seen cuts of £428million/ year taken from our budget, schools are crumbling & the NHS on its knees. In Manchester, we don’t stand silently by 👇🏼

Deeply saddened by the passing of Tony Lloyd, a truly wonderful man and politician. My thoughts are with his family and friends. For decades he gave so much to our city as MP, Police & Crime Commissioner and GM Mayor He will be missed by so many in the Manchester Labour family

Politics can be brutal sometimes. Manchester Labour holds 86/96 seats but I’m saddened that my friend and colleague @RahmanCllr didn’t get back in. Luthfur has achieved so much for our city and for Longsight, a fierce advocate for culture and young people. He will be missed but

A challenging 24 hours, with Manchester in the news for the wrong reasons. Our COVID infection rates stand at 195 per 100k (with an increase in numbers of people seeking medical help). We need everyone to pull together by staying apart, to limit the spread. Stay safe Mcr 🐝 ❤️

I couldn’t be prouder of ⁦ @ManCityCouncil ⁩ staff. Our Hub has taken 12,000 calls and our food response fed over 10,000 people with the commitment to continue as long as needed. Don’t let them tell you principled local govt can’t make a difference.

These are the people handling thousands of calls during the coronavirus pandemic

After a long battle, Greater Manchester can get on with bringing the buses back into public control. An integrated, well run and properly resourced transport system that puts people and places before profit is at the heart of what we want to do. 👏🚌🚌🚌🚌👏

We need more MPs who live in council housing, not less. Growing up (in our Council home) I would never have dreamed that someone from our estate could be in Parliament. Rather than demonising @KateOsamor - maybe we could turn our attention to this country’s failed housing policy?

Nye Bevan’s dream of council housing was of mixed communities, where “the doctor, the grocer, the butcher and the farm labourer all lived in the same street." The alternative is to create ghettos for the poor. The government alone are to blame for the shortage of council housing.

We’re building the homes Manchester needs. In 2022 we set our ambitious plan to build new homes and tackle bad landlords. We are building at least 10,000 council, social and genuinely affordable low carbon homes right across the city. Proud to say we’re already delivering 🏡

These numbers nationally really are high. Manchester comes in at 256th of 315 local authorities at 237.9 cases per 100k. We were put in to extra measures in the summer for cases of 20 per 100k. 20. Think about that for an minute. There are now 19 areas with cases over 1000/100k.
