What an incredibly selfless act from Jarrow FC footballer Max Nelson who has donated stem cells and bone marrow and is helping a French kid’s battle with leukaemia.

It is disappointing that the Local Plan has now been approved by South Tyneside Council. (1/5)

Residents in housing association properties are being failed by landlords who face insufficient accountability, exhausting complaints processes and by a regulatory framework that has not kept pace with reforms elsewhere in housing sector I’ve signed a letter calling on Govt to address these issues

The Post Office Horizon IT Inquiry has published a powerful new paper documenting the devastating impact this scandal has had on sub-postmasters, their families and the communities they served. (1/3)

Great news for Jarrow and South Tyneside! A £323,000 investment in Palmer Community Hospital will bring better hearing services closer to home, with specialist care for those who need it most. Thanks to STS Charity, NHS England and the audiology team for making this transformation possible.

Congratulations to Out North East & Peter Darrant on being shortlisted for Small Charity of the Year & Charity Leader of the Year at the North East Charity Awards The work that Peter and everyone at Out North East does to support the LGBTQ+ community across NE is truly outstanding. Good luck!

I'm proud to support this fitting tribute to Terry Joyce - a true Hebburn legend whose talent, warmth & generosity touched so many lives Whether he was making audiences laugh on our TV screens or giving his time to charities & community events, Terry always carried the spirit of Hebburn with him

As the Chair of the Womens Football APPG, it is deeply alarming to see reports of racist and homophobic abuse continuing to rise in English football.

Good luck to Labour candidate Bev Craig in today’s Greater Manchester Mayoral by-election If you live in Manchester, remember polls are open until 10pm, don’t forget your ID and vote Labour

While Parliament is in recess, the work in our constituency continues. (1/5)

In what will be a surprise to no one, I will also be joining my union comrades boycotting womens conference. It is a betrayal of Labour values and frankly I’m both disappointed in Labour’s stance and in the unions including my own union Unite who have decided to attend.

Today marks 47 years since the passing of Mary Lyons. By the age of 16, Mary had won two cup finals, scored in one, captained her team in the other - only two finals were ever played - and became the youngest-ever England player and goal scorer, a record that she still holds today.

The nurdle spill across our North East beaches is devastating, and it's good news that the remaining containers have now been cleared, removing the risk of further spillage.

As a lifelong football fan and Co-Chair of the Women’s Football APPG, I absolutely reject FIFA's attempt to market the World Cup as a product. Football’s soul and governance must never be sold off to private investors.

I strongly welcome Andy Burnham’s plans to offer pupils technical subjects such as manufacturing, engineering and AI from the age of 14. In areas like Jarrow and Gateshead East, closer links between schools, colleges, trade unions and local employers could open up fantastic opportunities.

The attack in Berlin today shows why Pride still matters, and why we all need to vocally stand up for minorities and condemn the hate. My thoughts with all the LGBTQIA community and especially those injured.

In his first week as Prime Minister, Andy Burnham has: 🏠 Pledged to end rough sleeping 💡Cut VAT on electricity bills 🪪 Scrapped plans for digital ID 🚌 Capped bus fares at £2 🎶Cut business rates for pubs, clubs and live music venues ⏸️Paused the early release scheme 🧭 Met Mayors at No. 10 North

Although Parliament is in recess, my work certainly doesn’t stop. Alongside my office, I’m continuing to work hard for constituents on their individual cases. Here are just some of the positive outcomes we’ve secured for local people in recent weeks
