Children growing up in our area deserve the very best support we can give to help them learn and develop. After years of Tory dither and delay, a Labour government would take practical steps that would make a real difference to our kids👇🏻 – at Newton Aycliffe, England

Two weeks ago I asked the Transport Secretary for urgent action to support Hitachi’s Trains Aycliffe plant He didn’t bother to respond Now the Financial Times has discovered Hitachi’s reduced the value of the factory in its books by £65m This is the cost of Tory dithering – at United Kingdom

On Friday Labour’s Shadow Schools Minister @CatMcKinnell joined me at Ferryhill School to see what help they need to deal with the crumbling concrete crisis. Hear what Cat had to say 👇🏻 – at North East, England

Very worrying news for local jobs in the Sunday Times thetimes.co.uk/article/train… – at Newton Aycliffe, England

Another great weekend out on doorsteps in Aycliffe, Spennymoor and Chilton with @LukeHenman and local members. Lots of anger from residents about Tory mismanagement of our public services. Time for change🌹

Very moving evening at the @durhamcathedral Festival of Remembrance. Poignant to remember the service of local men and women from the Durham Light Infantry and all those who have served. #LestWeForget

Great to be out over the weekend with local councillors and volunteers chatting to residents. A big thank you to everyone who’s supporting our campaign 🌹 – at Bishop Middleham, England

The Tories have got serious questions to answer about the concrete crisis nationally and at Ferryhill School. Watch my latest message 👇🏻 – at Ferryhill, England

Good to see Keir Starmer highlight Ferryhill School today at Prime Minister’s Question Time. Teachers at the school are working all hours to deal with the concrete crisis. But this was a political choice made by the Tories when they scrapped Labour’s school rebuilding programme

This appalling Tory failure is hitting young people hard in our constituency. Staff at Ferryhill School have been working tirelessly to find new venues after aerated concrete was found in their buildings. The government knew there was a problem. Yet Rishi Sunak cut the funds.

Great day talking to residents in Newton Aycliffe and Sedgefield. Lots of anger about the chaotic Tory government and the damage it’s doing to families across our community Time for change 🗳️ – at Newton Aycliffe, England
