Just a quick reminder to say that my staff will be taking a well earned break and the office will be shut over the Christmas and new year period Of course, there are still ways people can access support in Bolton if they need it

Firstly, there's the coronavirus support hub on my website

Despite my issues with the wider budget, I have to say I welcome the levelling up fund award for Bolton College of Medical Science

Whilst we didn't get the full £40m we need it provides a springboard to grow and develop

See attached my letter regarding the bid from June This site will add approximately £150m to the local economy and provide up to 25,000 jobs for local people

This offer also builds into a wider strategy for developing and growing our borough

In my eleven years as an MP, I must say this budget is the one which sticks out in my memory as being so extensively briefed to the media.

From all of the reports, three things are clear: 1. The leaked plans show that the Tories are out of touch and have the wrong priorities. They're cutting tax for big industries whilst whacking working people with a cut to Universal Credit #CancelTheCut

Great to visit Bolton Interchange today and see first hand the new buses that will be sweeping Greater Manchester soon

Delighted that under @AndyBurnhamGM's stewardship GM is finally getting an integrated transport system in the form of the #BeeNetwork It was great to chat to staff from @OfficialTfGM on the ground (Michael, Donna, and Jade) about the ambitious plans

They're working to deliver an integrated bus and tram transport system by 2024 and to include trains by 2030, feeding into a wider net zero goal by 2038
