Trafford’s Outbreak Management Plan for Covid-19

I’ve recently been made aware that Trafford’s Outbreak Management Plan for Covid-19 has now been published. The plan describes what the Council and the Public Health team are doing to prevent future outbreaks of Covid-19 in Trafford and sets out how they would respond if further outbreaks were to occur. …

The past week has seen a very troubling mix of legitimate and well-ordered protests alongside appalling thuggery, violence and disorder. The murder of George Floyd in Minnesota which sparked the Black Lives Matter protests across the world was shocking, and the deeper racial injustices and discrimination that it has brought to…

Kate’s blog: 8 June 2020

It’s hard to find words for the events of the past week. The extraordinary force of the Black Lives Matter campaign around the world. The outrageous conduct of the UK government in suppressing part of a report into the shocking and disproportionately high level of COVID deaths among BAME communities.…

COVID-19 Update – 2 June 2020

***Update on COVID-19*** Following Government announcements – this week a number of lockdown restrictions are being lifted. This relaxation of the rules will enable people to meet more of their family and friends in outdoor settings, with more businesses allowed to reopen, and some students across the country returning to…

A number of lockdown restrictions are being lifted this week. People will be able to meet more of their family and friends, more businesses are allowed to reopen, more students are returning to school (although this won’t happen for most schools in Trafford this week, as it is halfterm), and…

The chaos and arrogance of this government have been on display throughout the crisis

I was joined last week by a new staff member, Nick, who will be supporting my work in parliament. I say ’joined’, but we are currently working more than 200 miles apart as a result of the lockdown. I’m looking forward to meeting up in the same office when we…

COVID-19 Update: 15 May 2020

***Update on COVID-19*** This week the government made some important announcements relating to the next steps to be taken during the COVID-19 crisis. Labour’s priority is protecting the public’s health and saving lives. That is why we supported the lockdown and support the restrictions that have been put in place. But…

Kate’s blog: 11 May 2020

I’m writing this just after the Prime Minister has made his statement to the country on the government’s approach to easing the lockdown. There are a number of disturbing features in what he said. The instruction to ‘Stay Home’ has been replaced with the imprecise advice to ‘Stay Alert’. I…

Kate’s blog: 4 May 2020
