In 2025/26, we saw 901 new affordable homes built in Manchester, in 23 out of 32 wards, 439 for social rent, 149 at Manchester Living Rent.
A record year.
1,000s more on site too.
It is @McrLabour and @bevcraig building the homes that Mancunians need. – at Manchester, England
🌹Remembrance Sunday 2026.🌹
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning.
We will remember them.
Lest we forget.🌹

Today, we pause to remember all those who have died in the service of our country, and expresses gratitude to the brave personnel who continue to serve.
We will never forget the sacrifice and service of those who defended our country and fought for our freedom.
Good to help with our campaign launch in Harpuhey today with the @McrLabour team.
Great turnout and positive response on the doorstep for Labour in Collyhurst.🌹
Brilliant to chat to residents who have moved in to the new council homes built as part of Victoria North too.🏡🌳

No one who has served our country should find themselves on the streets or without support. In Greater Manchester too many sadly still do.
I’ve announced a new gold standard of support to change that.

The much loved & much missed Withington legend Tommy chatting about Withington Street Market.
Beautifully put "It's really bringing Withington to life".
Next market - this Sat 31st Oct. 10am - 4pm Rutherford Place (outside the library).
Be more like Tommy. Go buy some pickles. – at Manchester, England

This week we launched Hope on the High Street, our plan to rebuild the places people care about.
Backed by £125m to tackle derelict buildings, £65m to secure community ownership of important assets, £10m for high street rental auctions and £10m regional co-operative development.
Backed a budget which means;
🎯 Around 70,000 additional high-street businesses will pay no business rates.
🎯 Around 110,000 retail, hospitality and leisure properties will see their bills fall in 2027/28.
🎯 Half of all qualifying retail, hospitality and leisure properties in England will pay no business rates.
Real action to deliver growth in every postcode. @mhclg #highstreets

Despite the windy conditions, we had lots of teams out campaigning in Chorlton and Chorlton Park today listening to local residents, picking up casework and letting them know what @mcrlabour is doing locally in their area and community.
Plenty of support on the doorsteps.🌹

This is a big ambition – we know that. But we won’t back down from making sure everyone has the offer of a route off the streets this Christmas.
Today’s summit is about bringing every part of society together behind that mission. We’ll keep working together to tackle the root causes of homelessness and end rough sleeping for good.
