👏👏👏

Congratulations to Ipswich. Consecutive promotions is really hard to do at any time. In a world of parachute payments it’s even harder

1pm BBC news still reporting “evidence that London closer than expected” despite literally zero evidence - now or at any point over past 24hrs

I suspect a lot of people are going to end up looking rather foolish when the full London Mayoral result is declared.

I’m honoured that the people of the North East have put their trust in me to be their first North East Mayor.

Today we finally begin taking power from Westminster and handing it to the people.

Thank you for electing me to be your The Labour Party mayor. I can’t wait to get started.

This is a great day for the North East. The best person for the job. Change is coming

Huge congratulations to Chris Webb MP - a massive swing to Labour. It’s time for a General Election

POLLS HAVE NOW CLOSED. Brilliant day on the doors across Gateshead today. 14 rounds done. 25,000 steps. Nearly 12 miles. Best of luck to Kim McGuinness Susan Dungworth and all of the Gateshead council candidates - and thank you to everyone who voted Labour

Quick round in Dunston then on to Lobley Hill. Don’t ask why my eyes are closed but everyone else looks nice in this photo #votelabour

Deep trouble was when you crashed the economy, Liz.

Thanks Steve Cram for your endorsement.

Like Steve says, the North East needs a voice, a Mayor who will get things done and who will bring our region together to finally end the days of London taking our decisions for us.

I’ll be that North East Mayor.

Vote The Labour Party tomorrow.

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.

Vote The Labour Party

The felling of the Sycamore Gap tree rocked our region. It was a crime felt by millions that loved that iconic spot. I still can’t walk that section of Hadrian’s Wall💔

I’m proud of Northumbria Police for the thorough investigation that has led to these charges being brought today.

People say that Humza Yousaf’s time as First Minister has been brief, but I put it to you that he’s lasted nearly 8 Liz Truss’s
