Sending our condolences to all at @BoltonTories. David was a brilliant public servant for Bromley Cross and Bolton. Very sad news
We have just learned the very sad news that our dear friend and Bolton Council Leader, Cllr David Greenhalgh, has sadly passed away. He was greatly respected and had many friends both in the town hall and the wider Bolton community. facebook.com/155982711757908…

Such sad news. Thank you for your service Prince Philip.
It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle.

“I want to be some young blood with fresh ideas as people want change. If you elect the same people, you get the same problem and some have become to comfortable" My chat @WigToday on why I'm standing to be a local councillor in May! @WLMConservative 🗳️ wigantoday.net/news/politics…
Yet no mention from @OfficialTfGM as to where this money is coming from - ahh yes, it’s coming from the Government. I wonder why it wasn’t mentioned.
Great news for our Borough to see this approved today ✅ £15m for new rail station at Golborne ✅ £2m for travel hub at Tyldesley ✅ More opportunities for residents, reduced traffic on roads & supporting our economy 👏 Well done to everyone involved 👏 news.tfgm.com/news/mayor-set…

The defence of the realm is the first duty of government. We are investing an extra £16.5 billion in defence to end the era of retreat, strengthen our Armed Forces, and extend British influence as a force for good in the world 🇬🇧 gov.uk/government/news/pm-to…
If you say something confidently enough, people won’t realise you were saying something completely different 6 weeks ago. What happened to your love of blanket non-targeted interventions Andy?
Andy is summing up. 🗣️ "What we’re saying to the government today is: from here, we think an approach of strong, targeted, effective intervention is likely to bring more results" "What we want is to develop a programme of actions that are more likely to get a grip on the virus"

Throughout the entire saga of Wigan Borough being removed from the local lockdown we’ve asked ourselves where has @lisanandy been? All of the borough’s MPs have got involved. I think we’ve managed a couple of words from Lisa. #whereislisa

It’s genuinely good to see the Labour MPs in the borough starting to question Wigan’s inclusion in the GM lockdown. It would have been nicer to see them back James Grundy when he raised this immediately after the additional measures came in. Still no word from @lisanandy
My letter to the GM Mayor re. #COVID19 restrictions in Wigan

Let’s be clear @lisanandy may talk about investment in towns, but when Wigan has missed out time after time in favour of Manchester, she has said nothing. If she’s not interested in her own constituency town, she won’t be interested in yours either.
Replying to @lisanandy
3/ City regions are getting a (welcome) £4.2bn. But how will that money get out of the cities and into towns? What is the plan for Workington or Hastings that aren’t in city regions? Why has the government written them off weeks after promising massive investment?

Statement on HS2 by James Grundy MP. It’s time for @WiganCouncil to stop its support for the Golborne spur of HS2
