He went to Clarendon Road Primary School, Wentworth High School and Eccles Sixth From before studying at Lancaster University and has always been drawn to issues that affect everyday working lives.

Michael was first elected to Salford City Council in a 2011 by-election for the Eccles ward. He served as a councillor for ten years, focusing on practical, local priorities and building strong relationships with residents.
