The latest news from the Labour Party across North Northumberland from our members, councillors, MP and more.
People will understandably be disappointed by the revocation of the Development Consent Order (DCO) – confirmed earlier this year. However the reality is that dualling was never going to happen under the last Government.
Northumberland County Council is getting more money than before from Labour Govt. Their claims about future funding don’t hold up.
Today I gave my support to family farms in Parliament by asking the Government to ‘take another look’ at options for the proposed inheritance tax changes.
With a strong focus on prevention, rapid rehousing, and improved support for people experiencing the worst forms of homelessness, we can genuinely consign homelessness to the history books.
I am glad to see the government being proactive and encouraging farmers to continue or begin the transition to more sustainable practices. This should support more food, of a higher quality, produced and eaten in this country. Â
My prayer is for a peaceful two-state solution that provides security to both Palestine and Israel. Read my statement on first phase of Gaza ceasefire in full…
This week I was proud to be at the official launch of the Labour Rural Research Group. I am one of 25 MPs representing rural communities and working to take the views of our constituents to Westminster.
I’ve been involved in a lot of work lately to address the impact of train timetable changes, particularly for Berwick-upon-Tweed.
Today I launch my Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) report. 130 constituents responded to my consultation, and the results are damning. I summarised the key findings last week in Parliament.
My statement on the UK’s decision to recognise the Palestinian State and why we must continue to seek peace and justice.
