Proud to endorse Kim McGuinness for our first Mayor of the North East! Kim and I have worked together on many issues, such as the Leamside Line/Metro to Washington campaign, and I am sure she will be a brilliant advocate for the North East🌹

Time to return your postal vote! This is your chance to elect our first North East mayor. Vote The Labour Party to create thousands of jobs, fix our broken transport system and end the days of London taking our decisions for us. Together, we’ll make this the home of real opportunity.

So proud of the CDDFT HCAs! 💜💚
