I thought the Rwanda policy was meant to be a deterrent… but the first migrant has been sent to Kigali with £3,000 in his pocket. I’m sure taxpayers are delighted.

We need a North East Mayor with the entire region at heart. Someone who understands the needs of small towns like Ferryhill just as much as our large cities.

Kim McGuinness gets that and I know will be the best person for the job. I’m supporting Kim and encourage you to as well.

#OTD 1997. Eve of General Election. Tony Blair speaks at a final rally in Stockton-on-Tees:

'This is not a landslide country. Between now and when the polls close we will strive for every vote in every corner of the country'

Polls point to a 20pt Labour lead

Tories so desperate to get any flight to Rwanda before elections that they just paid one person to volunteer.

An extortionate pre-election gimmick costing UK taxpayers half a billion pounds. Should be putting that money into boosting our border security

Loved visiting my old school- Cheviot Primary in Newbiggin Hall.

I was on free school meals. I know the importance of giving kids a healthy start.

I’m proud to be a working class woman standing to be North East Mayor to create opportunity & fight child poverty.

Over 7,000 fewer people are starting apprenticeships in the East Mids compared to 2016.

The Tories’ failure on skills is denying young people opportunities & holding back our economy.

A Labour government, working with a Labour mayor, will deliver the skills the East Mids needs.

David Since 1979 - 45 years - Conservatives 32 years and Labour 13 years. living standards improved from 1997 to 2010 under a Labour govt. Thatcher sold the silver, Cameron robbed the public services, Johnson lied about Brexit, Truss crashed the economy, Sunak No plan at all. GE now.

Last night the Commons passed the Post Office Offences Bill.

This is a historic moment and an important part of delivering justice for sub-postmasters.

An internationally brokered ceasefire-deal is on the table. Hamas should accept this deal. We need an immediate ceasefire to avert a catastrophic continuation of this war.

Hi Jamie Oliver.

In the election for the first North East Mayor I’ve set the highest bar of any candidate on child poverty. I’ll measure our success in the number of children lifted out of poverty.

It’s ambitious, but we can’t simply help people to live better with poverty we

Tory MP Richard Holden: “Austerity wasn’t a choice that we made. It was something imposed on us by a reckless Labour government”

Jo Coburn: “To be clear, Labour didn’t cause the financial crash”

Tory MP Richard Holden: “No, no they didn’t”

Thanks Liz Twist MP for your support.

Every time Liz and I campaign in her constituency buses come up as an issue.

As North East Mayor I’ll urgently bring our buses back under public control so people can have a say in routes, fares and timetables.

Vote The Labour Party on 2nd May.
