Watch what happens when you tell Reform that thousands of real North East workers, in good jobs right now will lose those jobs because of Nigel Farage’s bizarre and false ideology.

We’ve #AdEnough.
From today, we're kicking junk food adverts off the Metro. 🚇
We're joining forces with Jamie Oliver and his AdEnough campaign so kids won’t be bombarded by unhealthy ads on the Metro.
I’m delighted we’ve taken action and I hope its just the start...

I really enjoyed our Mayor Meets session in Prudhoe - talking all things public transport
The frustrations in the room made clear that our buses must come back under public control. 🚌
I’m well underway with this. It’s critical that our buses start working for people again, rather than profit!

I know Lumiere in Durham this week will show just why it should never have been cut.
I was disappointed to not be told before the decision - especially as we financially backed the event.
I've committed looking at options to save this festival that's been a phenomenal success story for our region.

On Remembrance Sunday, we remember those that fought for our freedom and paid the ultimate sacrifice.
We give thanks to those that serve and have served in our Armed Forced.
It was an honour to spend this morning attending the Remembrance service in Sunderland.

Too many people are on council waiting lists waiting for a house.
I’ll make sure the £1.1bn we’ve got from Govt for the NE will build the homes we need.
We're on it now, with 705 homes already in Gateshead, Easington, Ashington and other areas too.
But we will do more. This is just the start.

Junk food harms kids.
@jamieoliveroffical.bsky.social and I are taking a stand and backing his #AdEnough campaign by banning junk food adverts on Tyne and Wear Metro 🚇
We want to help young people make healthy choices- they don’t need to see a load of ads for unhealthy food. Enough is enough.

Sophie is smashing the stereotype of what a construction worker looks like! 👷♀️
It was brilliant chatting to her about her career at @bellwayhomes and how she’s helping shape the future of house building.🏠
She’s a role model for other women striving for success in this growing industry.💪🏽

Our New Deal for North East Workers will make our region the best place to work.
That means skills courses so young people can get a 1st job, help to climb the career ladder and support if you want to get back into work.
So people across our region can get a good day’s pay for a hard day’s work.

🏘️ Unlock thousands of new homes
🚑 Make it quicker and easier to access the hospital at Cramlington
🚘 Ease traffic for thousands each day
@emmafoodymp.bsky.social and I are pushing this hard and will continue to until it’s sorted!

The Northumberland Line stations need to open asap!
It can take 12 weeks after a station is complete for trains to stop - we can’t wait that long.
I’ve written to Network Rail with Ian Lavery & @emmafoodymp.bsky.social to urge them to move faster so passengers can take advantage of the new line.

I met some fab women in Wallsend recently who are smashing misconceptions about what a construction worker looks like 👷♀️
Bellway are bringing more women into house building and it's paying off.
As we build more homes than ever, talented women are shaping how and thriving in a male dominated sector!
