Thanks Liz Twist MP for your support.

Every time Liz and I campaign in her constituency buses come up as an issue.

As North East Mayor I’ll urgently bring our buses back under public control so people can have a say in routes, fares and timetables.

Vote The Labour Party on 2nd May.

Great to see City of Durham MP Mary Kelly Foy MP supporting Kim McGuinness to bring the change we need for the North East

I love working with Mary Kelly Foy MP. We’ve campaigned together on fighting child poverty, access to public services and better public transport.

We will make our region the home of opportunity.

Thanks Mary for your support.

Fantastic to be in Birtley this morning with PCC candidate Susan Dungworth, Local Council candidate Hazel Weatherly, and councillor Councillor Alexander Hay 🌹 . It is so important to get out in community and discuss Labour's plans for change at the upcoming elections with local residents.
