Afzal Khan MP

Eid Mubarak and Hajj Mubarak to all my constituents!🕋 Today's message is all about fairness, equality, and unity - working together to make the world a better place.🌍️ I wish all those going on their pilgrimage a happy and spiritual journey.☪️

We need a social rent revolution! I went to hear about Manchester Social Housing Commission's report that lays out how we could increase our social housing stock by 90,000 a year! With Labour's Renters' Rights Act, this would transform renting in Manchester, making it cheaper, easier, and greener.

We are seeing people exploit international war crimes for their own political gain. A video circulating online doesn't show the full statement I made. It was edited to take out what I was responding to, and tries to discredit my work fighting for Palestinian rights. It is beyond is unacceptable.

I’ve always stood with Palestinians and called for the horrific attacks to end from the start. I resigned from the shadow cabinet to do so. Lies are being spread to undermine my work and sow division in the community. These dirty tactics must end. I'll never stop raising this important issue.

Here's Minister for Waste @marycreagh.bsky.social explaining how Labour is clamping down on fly-tipping - a problem that I have long campaigned on, that the Tories ignored, and that Labour is committed to ending.🌹

My work for you this April.🗓️🌹

We did it!🎉 Thanks to this Labour Government local authorities can now ban dangerous pavement parking.🌹🚖 We are protecting pedestrians by stopping children and disabled people from being forced onto the road simply to get past. I'm be working with the council to get these bans put in.✔️🚗

As this session of Parliament ends the Prime Minister has laid out everything Labour has done in just 2 years. From introducing a generational uplift in renters and workers rights to taking more action than any government to lift of children out of poverty - watch this to find out what we've done.

Labour's four-step plan to tackle knife crime will halve knife crime in a decade. Through our steps: Support, stop, police, end - together we can do this.

There has been a lot of legislation on public order since the beginning of this decade which has impacted people's ability to protest. That's why I asked some of the UK's leading lawyers whether these new measures have had a chilling affect on the right to protest - here's what they said.👇️

No one should face abuse in our NHS yet almost 40% of all Muslim healthcare professionals have been subjected to verbal abuse.👩‍⚕️ Now that Labour Government has adopted a definition of anti-Muslim hostility, I asked the Health Secretary to review cases of anti-Muslim hostility in our NHS.

More than 1/3 of disabled people want to work but getting back into the workforce means having your benefits reassessed, even if you don't know if your new role works out for your needs. Labour is changing this through our Right to Try scheme meaning you can find out if work works for you.🌹
