The North East will receive £1.5 million additional funding to strengthen homelessness prevention and expand mental health support across our region.

Homelessness doubled under the Tories, we’re fixing the mess and rebuilding the system so it protects people, not abandons them.

It was a privilege to spend time at the Commando Training Centre seeing how the next generation of Royal Marines are getting ready to serve our country.

It’s an honour this year to take part in the Royal Navy Armed Forces Parliamentary Scheme.

Fantastic to be at Bridget’s campaign launch in Sunderland today.

Powerful speech about uniting to fight for the best future for kids across our country. And being a campaigning deputy leader to take on Reform with a positive agenda of change.

Proud to be supporting Bridget Phillipson for Labour Deputy Leader.

I’ve known Bridget for more than 20 years - she’s always been a powerful champion of working people, tackling child poverty and standing up for our communities.

On the beat with Police and Crime Commissioner Joy Allen and Inspector Jassat in Newton Aycliffe today 🚨

Great to see first-hand the impact of increased police numbers in our town.

This Labour government is making our streets safer.

Alongside expanding free childcare, Labour is investing £600m in school holiday clubs. By extending the Holiday Activities and Food Programme for three more years, we’re supporting low-income families with free meals and exciting activities.

Last year alone, over half a million children benefited.

A real pleasure to visit 3M in Newton Aycliffe to see their world class manufacturing facility 🦺

They employ 300 people and have a strong record on apprenticeships - exactly the sort of business I'm working hard to support.

Proud of the innovative work 3M is doing in Aycliffe

Interest rates are coming down under Labour, meaning the average mortgage is now £1,000 cheaper per year.

That’s more money in people’s pockets, helping families with the cost-of-living.

Great to visit Tesco in Newton Aycliffe to meet staff to learn more about their work supporting our area 👏

From donating to food banks to helping charities and community groups, Tesco is making a real difference beyond the checkout.

A big thank you to the team.

🚨 Labour government invests in Sedgefield business 🚨

I’ve been campaigning for more government contracts to be available to our fantastic small and medium sized businesses.

Today we remember all those from our communities, our nation and the Commonwealth who fought with such courage in the Far East to bring the Second World War to an end.

Lest we forget.
