Best of luck to both Newcastle United & Sunderland as the new Premier League season kicks off this weekend!

It’s brilliant to have both teams in the best league in the world.

Wishing the players, staff, and supporters an exciting season ahead - with plenty to cheer about like last season!

Thanks again to the Friends of Jarrow Cemetery for this morning’s service.

Today is 80 years since VJ Day.

I laid this beautiful wreath in honor of all who served, suffered and sacrificed.

Especially moving to hear the names on the roll of honour.

Thank you so much to Friends of Jarrow Cemetery, all the Volunteers & Tricia Vickers for a moving ceremony.

I visited the brilliant new facility in Hebburn this week.

The facilities were so good and they even have a pool.

I have written to the Secretary of State for Transport, Ministers & DVSA to ask them to halt the sale of South Shields Test Centre and meet with me to discuss reopening the site.

Reopening it now would increase test capacity not only for our constituency but across the North East.

I refuse to be part of this and remain steadfast in my view that this bill will be disastrous and is not something that I, as an elected representative, can vote for.

Almost 5 million disabled people already are living in poverty, 75% of people referred to foodbanks are disabled - and yet this Bill will push 50,000 more people into poverty.

Tonight I again voted against the Government's proposals in the Universal Credit and Personal Independent Payment Bill

Despite the concessions made, this Bill will amount to £2 billion worth of cuts set to impact over 700,000 future UC Health recipients by an average of £3,000 a year

South Shields FC is holding a special charity comedy night this Wednesday!

The comedy night is an opportunity support Children's Cancer North and Supporting Arthur Salters-Hoult charities.

With only a few tickets left, make sure you get yours before they sell out!

Make sure you pick up some bargains & at the same time raise money which goes back into the local community!

Team Jarra went to Glastonbury to raise money for campaigning work and for the Jarra Rebel Festival.

I was pleased to be able to join them for a bit last weekend and thanks to everyone who helped out.

I refuse to be part of this and if the Government insists on pushing it to a third reading without fundamental changes (in just 8 days time!) I won’t be part of it then either.
