I am proud to support Labour's ambitious plan for job creation and skills expansion in the North West, which was launched in Stockport last week. I joined Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves, Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham and Liverpool City Region Mayor Steve Rotheram at Stockport Interchange to officially announce the proposals.

Research from the National Education Union shows that 84% of schools in Stockport constituency have suffered cuts to funding in real terms since 2010. These cuts equate to a loss of over £5.4 million from schools’ budgets and a £483 fall in funding for each pupil in Stockport constituency. This is unacceptable.

I am dedicated to restoring our crumbling public services, tackling the housing crisis and improving pay and conditions at work. After fourteen years of Conservative chaos, only Labour will create a brighter future for Stockport and Britain.

I raised the unacceptable condition of the Stepping Hill estate with the Prime Minister during Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday 8th May. I felt that it was imperative to raise the issues at Stepping Hill with the Prime Minister directly – to demand that he acknowledge the damaging consequences of his government’s neglect of our NHS, endangering both patients and hardworking NHS staff in our community.

Stockport Gin, a renowned independent distillery, recently made its mark in the heart of British

politics as it secured a spot on the shelves of the Strangers' Bar in the House of Commons.

Mr Mishra commented, “I am so honoured to represent Stockport County in the House of Commons. I felt that it was important to celebrate County’s amazing achievements in the Chamber, to ensure that their successes are permanently enshrined in official parliamentary records. As a historic team with a dedicated local fanbase, County are a huge source of pride, identity and community in Stockport, and continue to do us all proud.”

After years of chaos under the Conservatives, I am proud to support Labour’s recently-announced plans to overhaul Britain’s broken railways and get local train services back on track.

Thank you for reading my newsletter. I’ll be circulating a newsletter at the end of every month to update my constituents – or anybody else who might be interested - about my recent work as an MP.

I raised the unacceptable state of Stepping Hill Hospital - which after fourteen years of government neglect and underfunding is quite literally crumbling - in the House of Commons this week. 

With rising numbers of shops shutting their doors and shoplifting and antisocial behaviour on the rise, Britain’s high streets are showing the signs of fourteen years of neglect. That’s why I am pleased to back Labour’s 5-point plan to support the Great British high street to thrive.

The issues plaguing Stockport station demonstrate the failures of privatisation and franchising. We need to take the railways back into public ownership and restore pride and dignity to the network again.

Stockport’s hospitality businesses and pubs are an essential aspect of the fabric of our community and the strength of our local economy. It is an unfortunate fact that the current economic climate poses huge difficulties for businesses in these sectors, contributing to Stockport constituency losing 25% of its pubs since 2010.

Data published today reveals the shocking extent of the dirty water crisis afflicting England’s waterways, with raw sewage discharges into rivers and coastal waters more than doubling to record-breaking levels last year.

As the Member of Parliament for Stockport I have seen a huge increase in the number of parents contacting me about special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) provision.

Recent figures from the National Education Union reveal the huge cuts faced by schools in Stockport and across Britain since the Conservatives’ election in 2010.

I welcome the recent decision by Stockport Council to sign up to the Citizens Advice Council Tax Protocol, which commits local authorities to following a good practice guide when collecting council tax.

Angela Rayner MP and Navendu Mishra MP visited India in February to strengthen relations between Britain’s official opposition party Labour, and Indian business, faith, community and political leaders.

Recent data revealed to me by Stockport Homes shines a stark light on Stockport’s housing crisis.

I have been vocal in my criticisms of the Conservative Government’s mismanagement of our rail system and in my calls for reform. Please find some examples of my work holding the Government to account over its failure to ensure that private rail companies are delivering for Stockport below.

Like many Stockport residents, I am deeply concerned about the poor state of Stockport train station and the underperformance of Avanti West Coast, the rail company that manages the station, more widely.  I met with Avanti to raise these concerns and request that action be taken.
