Yesterday in Yarm, I joined Rachel Reeves Angela Rayner 🌹 and Yvette Cooper to launch the Labour Party's plans to breathe new life into our High Streets and Town Centres.
The Tories have failed both high street chains and independent retailers.
If I'm elected on 2 May,…

With Labour buses will be run by local communities, for local communities.

Andy Burnham gets things done and stands up for the North. He also understands devolution is essential to a stronger national economy.

No question he deserves re-election as GM Mayor. A pleasure to have him in Stalybridge today

The reality of life on the landings. Things must change . POA must be listened to .
No more mass unlocks with derisory supervision levels. Small controlled groups with enhanced staffing levels . Prosecution of all assaulters of staff and
Senior leaders who support us .

As North East Mayor I’ll bring buses under public control so they go where we need them, not just where profit takes them.

With Louise Haigh as transport secretary a The Labour Party govt we’ll do this quicker.

This is just the start. As mayor I’ll fix our broken public transport…

Britain's bus services are in crisis.

Labour has a plan to Take Back Control 👇

Eid Mubarak to you all!

I’m proud to be the daughter of a shipyard worker standing to be the first North East Mayor.

Vote The Labour Party on 2nd May.

I'm delighted to say I have been selected along with Ian and Louise to be a Labour candidate for the Wallsend Central ward for the North Tyneside Council Elections on May 2nd!

It was great to be joined by Mary Glindon MP and the Labour team whilst out speaking to residents.

And 75 years on, the alliance has never been stronger, larger or more unified.

Labour’s commitment to NATO is unshakeable. In Government, we will fulfil our NATO obligations in full.

Delighted to say at year end December 2023 POA full members had risen by over 2600 in that year and as it stands today that figure is over 3400. Monthly gains over the last 17 consecutive months. Big thank you to all branch committees for your hard work. Steve Gillan Gen Sec

Such a good meeting with Stephen Patterson CEO of NE1 today. Heard first hand the about crime in the city centre and issues facing retail, business and the nighttime economy. We also discussed ideas for effective policing and partnership working. #SaferStreetsStrongerCommunities

42 years ago today a Labour ran North Tyneside Council declared St Mary’s Island a nature reserve to protect the wildlife and environment for everyone. 42 years later I’m proud to be a part of a Labour Council committed to taking steps to protect and build upon this legacy!

The UN Security Council’s call for an immediate ceasefire, the immediate release of all hostages and full humanitarian access in Gaza could not be more necessary.

The resolution must now be implemented in full, and the UK government must play its part in applying diplomatic…

750 jobs in the factory.

1400 in the supply chain.

Govt have known about Hitachi’s cliff edge for 2 years!

With a stroke of a pen the Transport Secretary could extend an existing contract and secure these jobs.

Instead? Nothing. Utter contempt for this vital industry and…

The 2019 Conservative Party Manifesto promised unequivocally to restrict ground rents to a peppercorn.

If the Tories are abandoning that manifesto commitment, leaseholders deserve to know why.

Michael Gove needs to come to Parliament on Monday to explain himself.
