I was delighted to speak to Richard Quest on @cnn.com about the Government's plans to cap ticket resales and put fans first.
The UK has a world-leading live events sector and fans deserve the right to pay a fair price, as is already the case in other countries that have legislated in this way. 1/2

Many of my constituents across Washington, Gateshead and Sunderland have contacted me about the impact of fireworks on animals and vulnerable people. I attended an important event in Parliament last week with the Fireworks Impact Coalition to hear how we can make celebrations safer for everyone.

Today I spoke again regarding the horrific war in Ukraine and the three OSCE officials who have been taken captive by the Russian Federation.
I hope by regularly speaking their names, we will entreat our governments to go further in pressuring Russia to release them and end this illegal invasion.

It was great to visit Castle View Enterprise Academy for National School Meals Week 2025.
I had a lovely lunch with some of their Year 7 students, and talked to them and headteacher, Mrs Joanne Owens, about what they love most about school meals.

This Labour Government is delivering a generational renewal nationwide to fix UK military housing, including 393 homes in the North East.
I am proud of this Government's commitment to one of Britain's most ambitious housebuilding programmes in decades, and for supporting our Armed Forces families.
