Councillor for Milkstone & Deeplish Ward in Rochdale. Proud to be PCS Union Group Vice President. As seen on TV and radio.

Today, I was honoured to attend the Remembrance Sunday service at Rochdale Town Hall, representing the residents of Milkstone and Deeplish.

We came together to remember and pay tribute to all those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of our country, including the millions from across the Commonwealth who served and sacrificed so much in two World Wars and conflicts since.

Their courage, service and sacrifice must never be forgotten.

We will remember them. Lest We Forget. 🌹

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! FLY-TIPPERS WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.

I was joined on Kensington Street, Milkstone and Deeplish, by Councillor Farooq Ahmed, Leader of the Rochdale Workers Party Group, community activist Muhammad Shiri Shiraz, and officers from Environmental Management to tackle the ongoing problem of fly-tipping.

We have CCTV footage showing two residents illegally dumping rubbish. You will be caught. Prosecution and enforcement action will follow.

Let’s be absolutely clear: fly-tipping is a crime, not an acceptable way to dispose of waste.

We are determined to keep our streets clean, and those who think they can get away with dumping rubbish will be held accountable.

DON’T FLY-TIP. TAKE PRIDE IN OUR COMMUNITY!

Together, let’s make Milkstone and Deeplish cleaner, safer and better for everyone.

As a Workers Party Councillor and PCS Union official, I was delighted to be invited onto BBC Radio 5 Live at the weekend to debate a range of political issues.

One of the discussions centred on the US Midterm Elections, where I went head to head with James Price, a former Conservative Downing Street Special Adviser.

We discussed the absolutely appalling levels of racism, Islamophobia and bigotry directed at Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed by President Donald Trump, Vice President JD Vance and Republican politicians.

It was heartening to see voters reject this politics of hatred on Tuesday. The message is clear: racism, Islamophobia and division must never be allowed to determine our politics or our future.

And just as Republican hatred was rejected at the ballot box, I am confident that the growing threat posed by Reform, Restore and the wider far right can also be defeated.

And finally, a little reminder about our debate! My prediction of a Democrat wipeout proved right, while James’s prediction was rather wide of the mark!

Sometimes it’s good to get the political predictions right!

We are LIVE NOW with the PCS Union Islamophobia awareness month session. Adnan Hissain MP speaking alongside Fran Heathcote, Ilyas Nagdee and Hareem Ghani

Back to my Council duties this week following my visit to Pakistan, I carried out a street walkabout in Deeplish.

I was appalled to find two fridges and numerous bags of rubbish fly-tipped on Milkstone Road, near Blends Barbers and Tayyab’s Store.

There is NO excuse for this. Rochdale Council offers a free bulky waste collection service. Please use it rather than dumping unwanted items on our streets.

I have reported the matter and requested an urgent clean-up. Any CCTV evidence identifying those responsible will be passed to the relevant authorities for enforcement action.

Help keep Deeplish clean. See fly-tipping? Report it to the Council.

As always, I am here to serve our residents.

Congratulations to Senator Elect Abdul El-Sayed on making history in Michigan!

In the face of appalling racism, Islamophobia and bigotry, he stood firm against the politics of hate and division.

The voters have sent a powerful message: hatred will not prevail. They have chosen hope over hate, unity over division, and a politics that represents everyone.

A historic moment and a victory for equality, diversity and democracy.

Congratulations, Senator Elect
