Happy New Year to all! 🥂 As we step into 2025, I’ve decided to leave X. The platform no longer feels like the right fit for meaningful connections or balanced discussions. Exploring new horizons on BlueSky. Thanks for all the memories here! All the best✌️ #NewYearNewStart 👋🏻

If you’re planning to walk off some of that festive feasting here’s some good news. Labour saves 40,000 miles of footpaths and historic rights of way from Tory plans to scrap them. theguardian.com/environment/…

We inherited open borders and are working tirelessly to fix them. The Tories set the house on fire, now they are shouting at us to put the fire out quicker. Tiresome behaviour! #ToryShambles #Dover #Deal #Immigration #Borders #SecureBorders

A fantastic initiative, championed by Councillor John McCue, to support thousands of Redcar & Cleveland families has already distributed 44,000 items to 19,000 families locally, with plans to provide over 750,000 goods to 75,000 families within a year. diaryofacouncillor.com/2024/…

As I suggested to new Tory shadow ministers, perhaps the former minister for common sense can help them find some. This Labour government has chosen investment over decline. Will the Conservative Party really vote against it? If so, what would they do differently? 👇

Today I opened the doors of @educationgovuk to North East MPs to update them on our mission to break down barriers to opportunity. In a region where children's horizons became ever more narrow under the Tories, I'll work with MPs to break the link between background & success.

This Government was elected on a promise to invest in Britain's industrial heartlands for good jobs. Today, we deliver on that promise, launching a whole new industry for our country. With Labour, climate action means investment in good jobs. theguardian.com/environment/…
