As North East Mayor I’ll bring buses under public control so they go where we need them, not just where profit takes them.

With Louise Haigh as transport secretary a The Labour Party govt we’ll do this quicker.

This is just the start. As mayor I’ll fix our broken public transport…

A rainy day but warm welcome in Hartlepool this afternoon, campaigning for Hartlepool Labour Party & Chris McEwan for Tees Valley’s next Mayor, with @uklabour’s General Election candidate Jonathan Brash for Hartlepool MP

A brilliant hardworking Hartlepool Labour team #VoteLabour

Today, I'm setting out Labour's plan for better buses.

Labour's plan will give every community a say over their buses.

Our plan means vital routes created and saved across the country, and better bus services wherever you live 🚍🌹

This is an incredibly brave account & unfortunately familiar. It’s so wrong that women are left to deal with & fight this alone.

Bravo Hannah Barnes for shining a light on the vital issue of how our children come into the world, & how mothers are cared for both during & after.

Fantastic to welcome Catherine McKinnell MP to Hartlepool today to campaign in our local, Mayoral and Police and Crime Commissioner elections.

A hugely positive response on the doorstep and an real desire to ‘get the Tories out!’

The Cass Review must be a watershed moment for the NHS’s gender identity services.

My response for The Labour Party underlining our support for the Cass Review’s evidence-led recommendations and our determination to put children’s health and wellbeing above the political fray 👇🏻

Thank you to everyone who got in touch about their priorities for the new Newcastle North constituency as we head into the next General Election.

I received so many responses covering many different topics. Here are
my reflections on the issues raised 👇catherinemckinnellmp.co.uk/2024-prioritie…

Really positive evening in Brunswick supporting Andrew Herridge, Newcastle Labour’s candidate for Castle ward.

With boundary changes Brunswick, Dinnington & Hazlerigg will form part of Cramlington and Killingworth & Emma Foody is the fantastic The Labour Party & Co-operative Party candidate.

Taxes are at a 70 year high. You know you and your family are worse off under the Conservatives.

The cost of Tory chaos!

Having campaigned hard for @SunderlandUni's Medical School, it was great to see its work in action.

The Tories have taken the NHS to breaking point, and if they are given five more years, they will finish the job.

The next Labour government will get the NHS back on its feet.

Education will once again be a priority under the next Labour Government. Not just for some children & some schools, but for all children in all schools.

Good to join EstelleMorris & Christine Gilbert & share The Labour Party’s plan at the Area-Based Education Partnerships conference

Chris is a decent and committed man and Teesside to his bones.

He knows what needs to be done to get Teesside its future back.

He’s got my support. It’s time for change.

We’re told there are only two certainties in life - death and taxes.

But there’s a third: the Tories lie through their teeth to cling to power.

My piece on childcare as the latest in a long line of Tory fibs, that mean you can’t trust a word they say.👇🏻
independent.co.uk/voices/free-ch…

The Education Secretary has been peddling lies, so I’ve set the record straight.

It’s time she and her party finally guaranteed parents the childcare the Tories offered them, otherwise their pledge is worthless.

Read my letter below. 👇🏻

The state of this.

Utter nonsense. Rather than peddle lies, either get on with your job or call a general election.

Town after town. City after city. Parents can’t find the childcare they need.

The Tories can’t deliver their own promises.

Labour wants high quality early education and childcare in every community — affordable, accessible, and available.

Promising childcare that isn’t there is more than just another Tory betrayal.

It is shattering hopes and dreams for families across our country.
