I have been campaigning alongside healthcare professionals who are concerned about the risks arising from handling hazardous medicinal products. This week in Parliament I called on the leader of the House of Commons to hold a debate on the subject.
I had a blast at Party in the Park Sacriston this past weekend.
Huge thanks to the Fulforth Centre and the incredible volunteers who put together a fantastic event – and to Sacriston Parish Council for funding it - great to see so many people out and about 😊
Congratulations to Bloemfontein Primary and Annfield Plain Juniors on their successful bids for funding to revamp their school buildings, thanks to investment from the Labour government.
Labour has a long-term plan to get our children learning in modern schools, where every child can thrive.
Always great to see these two in the office - they may have been bribed with treats to stay still long enough to get this photo 😂
Absolute pleasure to meet Stanley lad and boxing hero Glenn McCrory earlier today - Glenn won the Cruiserweight World Title in Stanley in 1989 - given the size difference I am not volunteering to go into the ring with him!
As a North East MP I am pushing for clear defence spending plans to secure jobs across our region. I raised this in Parliament once again this week.
Celebrating national fish and chip day! Johnsons in Sacriston never disappoints!
