Hi Jamie Oliver.

In the election for the first North East Mayor I’ve set the highest bar of any candidate on child poverty. I’ll measure our success in the number of children lifted out of poverty.

It’s ambitious, but we can’t simply help people to live better with poverty we

I’m supporting Kim McGuinness to be the first North East Mayor. The leaders of the 7 local authorities have negotiated a deal that, with the right leadership will bring about transformative change in our region.

With Kim as our Mayor we can make this happen.

I am proud to be backing the incredible Kim McGuinness for North East Mayor.

Kim has a plan to make the North East the home of real opportunity, and will be a powerful voice for the region.

Vote Labour on 2 May 🌹

Great to speak with Nancy Pelosi today.

Always good to talk about politics in the UK and US, the unique bond between our two countries and how our collective values can bring prosperity and security across the world.

I’m sorry to learn of the passing of #SAFC legend, Charlie Hurley.

Charlie was affectionately known by Sunderland fans as The King and was voted the clubs Player of the Century by fans.

RIP

I support a National Care Sevice!

On behalf of the Labour Party, I wish everyone a happy St George’s Day.

Let us be proud of our national identity, confident on the world stage, and sure of our country’s future.

Building societies and mutuals represent a fairer way of doing business, and help create an economy where wealth and power are shared.

A big 👏 to Julie Elliott MP on her Building Societies Bill passing its third reading today in Parliament.

Should’ve phoned a friend.

The FBU have a campaign to improve maternity rights of Firefighters. Kim McGuinness has been a big supporter. Vote The Labour Party on the 2nd of May.

Liz Truss crashed the economy and working people are still paying the price. She now claims to have 'unfinished business.'

With Sunak planning more unfunded tax cuts - a continuation of the Truss agenda - it's clear Britain can't afford more Tory economic chaos!

With Labour, communities will be able to take back control of their buses. We will:

✅ Empower local transport authorities

This could create and save up to 1,300 bus routes & allow 250 million more journeys a year.

As a former MEP for the NE, MP of two North East constituencies, member of the House of Lords and, not least, both an author and member of North Northumberland Constituency Labour Party, I'm delighted and honoured to have the support of Baroness Joyce Quin.

North Northumberland CLP is fortunate to have our fair share of distinguished former Members of Parliament, and authors, as members. I'm delighted to say that this includes Chris Mullin, and even more to say that I have his support. Thank you Chris.

Community enterprises like Big River Bakery are at the heart of my plans to empower our region as the North East Mayor. We'll reimagine our high streets and transform and support neighbourhoods by backing the foundational economy and those that hold our local areas together. (2/2)

Easter weekend door knocking for our fabulous local candidates in Saltwell, Barnes and St Peter’s. 🐶🌹 #VoteLabour
