🍝 pasta +60%
☕️ tea +46%
🍟 chips +39%
🍞 bread +38%
🍪 biscuits +34%

Britain needs a pay rise.

We need a #GeneralElectionNow

The people of South Tyneside don’t want another unelected Tory PM, they want – and need – change.

They need a Govt that will undo damage inflicted by the Tories - that will look after our vulnerable kids and our elderly.

We need a windfall tax.

Last week Kemi Badenoch voted against buffer zones that would protect women, her track record is worrying for the LGBTQ+ community.

Today she used her first appearance as Women & Eq Minister to attack and smear PinkNews

A complete abuse of power,

🚨Tomorrow my team will be in Hebburn town centre from 11.30am tomorrow to speak to constituents about what improvements you would like to see in your town centres.

You'll find them in Mountbatten Shopping Centre - come say hello 👋

No surprise that Sunak's cabinet has more jobs for the boys.

Women are always treated as 2nd class citizens by Tories.

It is women who face brunt of the consequences of #ToryChaos , women hit hardest by cuts and cost of living crisis.

Many Jarrow constituents rely on Metro for travel.

I have written to Stadler asking them to work with Unite the union: join a union to resolve this dispute.

With £119 million in profits, Stadler can afford to & must give workers a proper pay rise.

Dear James Cleverly🇬🇧,

Can LGBTQ+ be themselves and watch the football in Qatar? When The Govt criminalises them?

Is this actually your official advice to LGBTQ+football fans? Go but be respectful and don't 'act gay' ????

At #PMQs Sunak admitted there are deprived areas not only in London, but throughout the country (and the Tories cheered🤨)

Deprivation, kids going hungry and elderly living in cold homes - a direct result of 12 years of Tory Governments.

We need change.

#GeneralElectionNow

Sunak's first performance at #PMQs is laughable.

He claims at the dispatch box to be on the side of working people...

We all know he is more focussed on lining the pockets of his wealthy mates than supporting the millions living in poverty due to the #ToryCostOfLivingCrisis

Yesterday's BEIS question 👇

The Minister's answer offers no comfort to those affected by the Horizon Scandal.

Fujitsu must be held accountable for its role in this miscarriage of justice.

AND the Government must stop giving them multi-million-pound contracts!

Tomorrow, my office is holding a drop in advice surgery at Pelaw Library from 2pm to 3.30pm.

If you would like to speak to my team about a particular issue, please do drop in between these times and report to the reception area at Pelaw Library.

This morning I let workers know I am meeting @royalmail tomorrow (They requested a meet after my #PMQ ..)

The message from strikers was they have had enough of attacks on jobs, pay and conditions - whilst shareholders pocket millions.

I'm sure you all have messages to pass on..

On The CWU Royal Mail picket line at Mount Pleasant this am, I said I will always be on the side of workers standing up against bad bosses.

Last week I called on the then Prime Minister to investigate the gross mismanagement of
@royalmail - I'll continue making that demand!

Last week Braverman was forced to resign due to a serious breach of ministerial rules....

This week she has been reappointed as Home Secretary??
