Key workers who are fulfilling a vital role to keep the country going during the coronavirus lockdown must be given greater support, says Navendu Mishra MP.

Stockport Council is facing “economic Armageddon” following a national funding shortfall.

A lack of adequate fire safety in housing across Manchester is “completely unacceptable”, almost three years after the Grenfell tower tragedy.

During this deeply troubling time, it’s shocking to see so little protection given to frontline workers who are at the coalface of this crisis.

As the coronavirus crisis continues, I hope all readers and their loved ones are managing to keep safe and healthy during the lockdown.

The Covid-19 lockdown continues to challenge us all, and disappointingly the PM’s mixed messaging around the exit strategy has led to confusion for many residents, workers and businesses alike.

This has been an incredibly challenging period for everyone, and the coronavirus crisis continues to disrupt all aspects of our daily lives.

Navendu Mishra has written to Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab to call on the Foreign & Commonwealth Office to do more to help thousands of people, many of which live in his constituency, to return home in the coming days.

It’s completely unacceptable, given the highly contagious nature of this deadly virus, that staff are inadequately equipped with sufficient levels of PPE.
