Today marks the start of this year’s Great Get Together, which I’m fully supporting in memory of my dear colleague, the late Jo Cox MP.

All this weekend, communities like ours right across the country are safely coming together to celebrate all we have in common; helping to build a brighter, kinder and more compassionate society for everyone.

As ever, during this crisis I have truly been amazed by the kindness, generosity and compassion of local people in our proud St Helens communities. This weekend, our get togethers – whether big or small – remind us once more of all the many things that unite us.
