Personal news. Last month I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was a huge shock, but thanks to the NHS Breast Screening Programme it was diagnosed early, and I should make a full recovery. More ⬇️. 🩷

I've signed this important EDM from @MickWhitleyMP . I raised a similar issue in December. Five months on, still nothing...

The government must be held to account over its refusal to suspend arms exports to Israel. I've tabled an EDM calling on David Cameron to take questions from MPs from the bar of the House of Commons. We need far more robust scrutiny over this government's foreign policy.

Last week in the Commons I called for a public inquiry into the brutal events of the 1984-85 miners' strike. 40 years on, our communities deserve justice.

I fully support this letter. @AndyMcDonaldMP , @Gibbo4Darlo and I have all called for public inquiry into the TEWV NHS Trust. Families can't wait any longer.

3.1 million food parcels handed out in a year. Many pensioners can’t afford food. Many families can’t afford food. Many working people can’t afford food. On Mon @RishiSunak told us “I hope I've shown that the government I lead will always be there for you”. Is he serious?!

What an incredible offer from @RSACCdarlo in conjunction with @PccJoyAllen 's office. It is so important to empower workers and volunteers to identify and safely intervene in situations of sexual harassment. Another positive step toward making Durham even safer for everyone.

As pupils begin their exams this week, I’m wishing pupils across Durham so much luck - especially those at @stlcsdurham . Despite 8 months of disruption caused by RAAC, I know they will do well. I won't stop fighting for them, even if the Tories have: .

I'm looking forward to taking part in @grahamemorris 's debate tomorrow. Mining communities, like ours in County Durham, deserve justice after the brutality of Thatcher's government in the 1984-1985 strike. What are your memories of the strike?

Disgusting comment from a disgraceful politician. @UNICEF warns there are 600,000 children in Rafah with nowhere to go. Our government must heed the call of Palestinians, and people of conscience around the world, and back an immediate, permanent ceasefire and an arms embargo.

Labour MPs (who are in the Urgent Question in big numbers) make clear how appalled they are as Suella Braverman says it's right that Israel "finishes the job". "Disgusting" heckles one MP.

I marched against Thatcher’s anti-gay hate laws in the 1980s. I voted for Equal Marriage as an MP. I've now got a ring on my finger. Never let people tell you politics can't make a difference.

It seems staggering that dental teams will not qualify for miscarriage leave. All parents to be should be able to take time to grieve at such a difficult time, without worrying about the impact on their income. Another kick in the teeth for the dentistry workforce.

New miscarriage leave is the right call from @NHSEngland . But it must cover the NHS dental team. Mums and dads-to-be deserve the time to grieve. Read our open letter to CEO @AmandaPritchard 👉
