Thanks Sir Brendan Foster for your support.

I love the North East. I know you do too but we’ve been left behind. It’s time to take control of our own future.

I’ll be the Mayor that tells the world there’s more to the North than Manchester and Leeds.

Vote The Labour Party on Thursday.

Great stuff from Jack McConnell labourlist.org/2024/04/humza-…

Take a walk down Andy Street

Thanks Dame Norma Redfearn. Norma and I have worked together for years- she’s a great leader. Norma’s ethos is all about making sure decisions are made in the interests of the people of the region. That’s exactly the approach I’ll take as North East Mayor.

Vote The Labour Party on 2nd May.

Democracy is fragile.
A message to all #EU citizens in the UK.
Don't forget to vote in the #Europeanelections from June 6-9. We British may have chosen to silence our voice but yours can still be heard. You are entitled to vote. #Useyourvote or others will decide for you.

Here's another fine mess Brexit has got us into...

My statement on the resignation of Humza Yousaf as First Minister.

I make that about seven and a half Liz Trusses for Humza Yousaf

At 39, Humza Yousaf will become the youngest ever ex-First Minister in UK history

On Friday our Scotland Correspondent kathryn samson asked Humza Yousaf who would last longer:

Himself or a lettuce?

“Independence feels frustratingly close.”

Yousaf displaying that keen political judgement that characterised his tenure as First Minister.

and I'm sorry but what sane country, where, on the day we read 'washout winter spells price rises with home-grown crops down by a fifth' the next day makes it way harder for its own continent to continue selling it fresh food?

Ladies & Gentlemen, I give you Brexit Britain ! 👏🤡

An age begins today, asleep in the House of his servant Stanford

Quite it begins another knows

Given Ed Balls’ book #Appetite - wouldn’t simplicity beg of ourselves?

I I actually older than #EdBallsDay

Interestingly, Dan Poulter's critique of the government goes wider than the NHS: it's also about (what he sees anyway) as the Conservatives' right-wing drift.
