I promised we’d extend Tyne and Wear Metro to Washington. Today we’ve committed £8.6m to complete the business case to deliver exactly that. This is a long term project but we’re getting started. I’ll build the infrastructure of opportunity across our North East.

☀️ County Durham solar panels to be sent to Japan ☀️ This brilliant partnership between PowerRoll and 東京ガス グループ【公式】 is North East innovation going global! We met with Tokyo Gas with Power Roll in Japan last year. I'm delighted led to this agreement - so Power Roll can grow to become a global exporter. Here's a look at the work they're doing from my latest visit!

How do you save North East schools £100,000 per year for books, school supplies and the best days out? Simple - put solar panels on their roof. So that’s what we did for 23 schools in Sunderland and Northumberland. Lower energy bills, more money for kit, kids loving their contribution to the environment and the panels were fitted by north east workers too! Green energy 🤝 green jobs 🤝opportunity

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.

I was in Sunderland, so it had to be a pink slice! I loved meeting Charlie at Müller’s Bakery, and hearing about how he has taken on the mantle of this amazing family bakery from his Nana and Grandad who started the business way back in the 60’s. My Pink Slice from Müller’s was unbelievably good. Tell me in the comments, what’s your favourite North East sweet treat and what are you ordering on match day?

Thanks Steve Cram for your endorsement. Like Steve says, the North East needs a voice, a Mayor who will get things done and who will bring our region together to finally end the days of London taking our decisions for us. I’ll be that North East Mayor. Vote The Labour Party tomorrow.

Scrapping the two child cap was a major victory in our fight to end child poverty in the North East. And this week it's finally been lifted. It's a huge moment for our region changing the lives of nearly 50,000 kids. And it’s going to make our £30m child poverty action plan even more impactful - whether that’s expanding baby box deliveries to more activities for teens to grants for pregnant mams

We want the North East to be known as the home of real opportunity. But right now, too many children are held back, growing up in poverty. Our North East Child Poverty Unit will bring the region together to fight poverty and give every child the opportunity they deserve.
