Brilliant meeting with James today who delivered these cards on behalf of constituents worried about the impact of the supreme court judgement. James ran a stall at Hebburn Pride & everyone of these cards will get a response from me detailing my support & action I am taking to protect trans people.

I have written to the Secretary of State for Transport, Ministers & DVSA to ask them to halt the sale of South Shields Test Centre and meet with me to discuss reopening the site.

Reopening it now would increase test capacity not only for our constituency but across the North East.
