#OTD miners from Cramlington overturned the Flying Scotsman to stop strike breaking during the 1926 General Strike. This is our local history and we should remember the miners’ collective strength. ✊

We need a public inquiry into the police brutality miners faced, not just at Orgreave, but across the country during the Miners’ Strike. I spoke in the Commons this week to tell the Minister just that. We need more than pardons of miners, we need a public inquiry.

Today I lead the debate in the @HouseofCommons on Mining and Mining communities. Our region has been continually left behind by successive governments, and it is high-time they acted to right the wrongs of past and justice is served for our mining communities. 1/2

Yesterday it was announced that TSB were closing Bedlington's branch meaning that the high street is now without any bank at all. Today I spoke in the House to tell my colleagues that we need cross-party action on to tackle the crisis in high street bank provision.

It is extraordinary that this Government is failing our country on such a grand scale and in almost every conceivable way. Drug shortages are now threatening the safety of patients. The Secretary of State for Health must speak to the House urgently on this matter.

Poverty is poverty, hunger is hunger. No child should face either. Universal free school meals can transform lives. If the Government will not resolve to end child hunger then they are not fit to represent young people across the country.

This week the CEO of P&O Ferries told us about the conditions of their workers. He contradicted the description provided by the workers and their representatives. Well I’m sorry but I’ll be standing by the workers and elected union reps before I just take your word for it.

Yesterday I spoke in Parliament about the appalling child poverty in my constituency and the shocking fact that children as young as four are going hungry. Child hunger is a political choice. A political choice that my colleagues make by failing to act. That must change.

🙏 Great to hear MP @IanLaveryMP talking passionately about why we urgently need to extend #FreeSchooMeals in @HouseofCommons yesterday! He knows just now important a nutritious meal at school is because he benefitted from them growing up. Watch in full: ➡️…

Today would have been Jackie Charlton’s birthday. We remember Jackie as a giant of football but also as someone who stood up and fought fascism when it raised its ugly head. Big Jack was one of the best role models Ashington could ask for.

Today I challenged the CEO of P&O Ferries. He claimed that workers on his ferries were not sacked on 17 March 2022. I have a feeling the workers who were handcuffed by masked security guards and marched off the ship to be told they were now out of a job see it differently.

The decision to invade Rafah is appalling and will worsen the already terrible situation for Palestinians. We need a ceasefire now. The Government must act to help broker peace and end the export of arms. #immediateceasefire

I have absolutely no time for Johnson and his politics but it is quite something when he is stopped from voting by his own voter suppression tactics. Everyone, even Johnson, deserves the right to vote. So remember your photo ID and get to the polling station before 10pm. 🗳️

Quite something when former PM Boris Johnson - who introduced voter ID requirement - is turned away from his polling station after forgetting to bring his 🤦. @SkyNews
