It was great to visit Castle View Enterprise Academy for National School Meals Week 2025.
I had a lovely lunch with some of their Year 7 students, and talked to them and headteacher, Mrs Joanne Owens, about what they love most about school meals.

The service was powerful and I am pleased that this event was so well attended by members of our community.

This Labour Government is delivering a generational renewal nationwide to fix UK military housing, including 393 homes in the North East.
I am proud of this Government's commitment to one of Britain's most ambitious housebuilding programmes in decades, and for supporting our Armed Forces families.

Today I attended a roundtable discussion on Holistic Justice for Sexual Violence Victims in Russia’s Aggression.
I believe the UK must be active in ensuring justice and support for Ukrainian survivors of conflict-related sexual violence. I will continue to engage in meaningful debate on this issue.

Am pleased Farage is making more speeches.
Every time he does, something new slips out of the bag.
Today - he is considering a cut in the minimum wage for younger workers.
I'm proud our Labour Government increased the minimum wage. You should be paid fairly for the job you do, irrespective of age.
