Labour MP City of Durham. Trade Unionist. Socialist. Promoted by Kate Bolger, on behalf of Mary Kelly Foy, both at Labour North, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 6PA.
At Justice Qs I again advocated for prison officers in Durham & across the country when it comes to their pension age being too high. The 68 Is Too Late report from The POA further emphasises the need for this injustice to be addressed. Glad to hear the Minister is meeting with The POA very soon.

It is always an honour to plant a stake in the Garden of Remembrance in Parliament, on behalf of the City of Durham.

It was an absolute honour to help break ground on the new campus development at Houghall College.
This new, sustainable scheme will deliver state of the art facilities to deliver agricultural and land-based skills well into the future. I cant wait to come back and see how it’s coming along!

Great to speak to NE school pupils at the Climate Education event organised by SOS UK, The Ministry of Eco Education, hosted by Durham Uni. The enthusiasm was fantastic & it's clear there is real determination from local schools & young people themselves to do their bit tackling the climate crisis.

Young people are being exposed to harmful content online, normalising sexual violence against women & girls. So, as part of the Online Safety Act & the Crime & Policing Bill, we’re ending the depiction of strangulation during sex. 1 step that this Labour govt is taking to keep women & girls safe.

So what happened with the Big Votes in the Lords on the Employment Rights Bill?
Unelected Tory and Lib Dem Lords passed amendments that undermine Labour's Manifesto - on Day 1 rights, Guaranteed Hours and Repealing the TU Act
Over to MPs now, to stand up for workers & their mandate from the public

What a fantastic start to Friday at a 'Mature Movers' class put on by the brilliant Claire Smith in Newton Hall. Such a welcoming group of people - and they certainly made me realise that I must prioritise some time for well-being activities and exercise!

Always a pleasure to catch up with WASPI - Women Against State Pension Inequality Campaign when the brilliant campaigners are in Parliament.
My support for them is unwavering and I'll be by their side for as long as they need me.

Stopped by the Advice Saves 2025 reception to learn more about their report which highlights key issues facing the independent advice sector.
AdviceUK provided life-saving advice to 2.8 million people last yr, supporting them with issues relating to issues from housing, debt & welfare - 👏🏻

Humbled to meet Esther Ghey & hear about the Phone Free Education campaign she started following the murder of her daughter, Brianna in 2023. We must do more to ensure the well-being & education of pupils are prioritised & protected from the harms mobile phone use can bring.

It was particularly special to see the suicide memorial quilt from the North East in Parliament this week. The quilt offers such a unique way of remembering the lives of people lost to suicide, and I want to thank all of the local families who have been involved.

I was genuinely honoured to be asked to host the Pink Ribbon Tea event in Parliament this week.
Many of you will know I have my personal experience with breast cancer, so whenever I can speak to people and encourage them to take up their screening or self-checking - I’m going to do it!

So good to drop in to a packed out @pcr-uk.bsky.social event yesterday on behalf of my constituents. It is clear men are dying needlessly because we don't screen for prostate cancer. A targeted programme for those at highest risk could save thousands of lives. I'm so glad to support the campaign!

Just a quick note of thanks to all of the council workers, emergency services, powergrid personnel and members of local communities for the work they’re doing clearing up the mess this dreadful storm ☔️ 💨 has caused across the county so far.

The amount of contact I receive from constituents regarding access to prostate cancer screening is ever increasing, so I was only too pleased to spend some time at the Prostate Cancer Research stand at conference this week to find out more about how I can support their campaigns.

When I am at Labour Party Conference I always try to drop by the stands which constituents have contacted me about, particularly when the topic is important to them.

This is welcome news protecting our prison officers in workplaces & huge credit should go to Claire & The POA who have pushed the govt. The work doesn’t stop here, all prison officers deserve to have adequate protective kit at work & I’ll campaign for as long as it takes to get that in place.

Thank you to Believe Housing Limited Chief Executive, Alan Smith, for meeting with me yesterday. We had a useful discussion around the pressures that the social housing sector is facing and he also took time to update me on cases my office have been working on with Believe.
