Huge news for our region. The Metro is coming to Washington. 🚊 We’ve secured £1.85bn transport funding for the North East and it is a game changer. I’m getting on with the job of delivering the world class transport network our region deserves and creating real opportunity.

We're creating and supporting great jobs and employers right across the region. Our New Deal for North East Workers will make sure local people have the skills to get into these jobs and progress. It was great to see how workers are benefiting at @UK_Husqvarna in Newton…

Oooof The @Lionesses - you sure know how to keep us on the edge of our seats. What a team. What a win. Bring. It. Home ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

A big day for the North East. I promised to fight child poverty. Today we’re taking action with £28.6m for a North East Child Poverty Action Plan🎉 That means more families receiving baby boxes, grants for pregnant Mams, youth clubs to help build skills for work and much more.…

Today marks a huge moment for families as we launch the North East Child Poverty Action Plan. Our region has shamefully high levels of child poverty - we have to act! So with £28.6m of investment, we’ll do just that. We’ll expand baby box deliveries, give cash grants to…

This weekend, personnel from RAF Boulmer and the Air Command and Control Force proudly joined thousands of others who braved the rain to take part in the Newcastle Pride 2025 march. #AllOurPride #lgbtveterans #raflgbt #rafinclusion #lgbtrights

🏳️‍🌈 Absolutely gutted to not be able to join @northernprideuk this weekend! 🏳️‍🌈 I love that this year’s theme is ‘Unapologetically Visible’. Let’s remember that for many of the LGBT+ community the fight continues for equality, safety and inclusion. In our region, I’ll always be…

More money for teachers and school leaders to spend on learning and activities rather than running buildings. That’s the difference solar panels will make to schools across the North East. Working with GB Energy secured £700k for solar panels on 24 schools. This also cuts 85…

“Too much power is held in London, and by unelected quangos, where decision makers hold the future of Northern arts in their hands" We have united with North East Mayor and Chair of The Great North @KiMcGuinness to call out our regional culture chasm ⤵️

We’re known for making things in the North East. I’ll always back companies like @turntidetech. They’ve invested in our region and people here, creating great green jobs, putting us at the heart of the green energy revolution.🍃 I loved joining them for the opening of their new…

North East Mayor @KiMcGuinness has officially opened @turntidetech expanded Gateshead production site, marking a major step forward for the region’s electrification and clean tech ambitions. More: northernengineer.co.uk/resources/nort… #northeast #engineering #CleanTech #manufacturing

I love the North East- I know you do too. The school hols are a great time to get out and explore our region. ☀️ And we’re making it more affordable to do exactly that. Kids Go Free when travelling with an adult on all buses, @My_Metro and the Shields Ferry for the whole summer…

I’m glad to finally see justice being done and the Sycamore Gap perpetrators jailed today. We know no sentence could ever reflect the devastation we all still feel for the loss of our beloved Sycamore Gap tree. It was more than just part of the landscape, it had a place in so…

What’s your favourite North East Beach? My absolute fave thing in the world is a beach walk with my dogs. I’m there in any spare moment I have. 🌊 Loved seeing 4 of our amazing North East beaches in @thetimes Best Beaches Guide. Cocklawburn, Embleton Bay, Creswell and Roker…

Gutted I’m away and not marching with @unisontheunion friends at the @DurhamGala today. The thousands of people lining the streets show how strong our North East pride and identity is. I love the spirit of solidarity at The Big Meeting, the celebration of our heritage and the…
