That belief in community guides the work we are doing in Newcastle as we build a city where equality and fairness are part of everyday life.

The raising of the flag was a powerful moment and a clear show of unity.

I was proud to speak about this year’s theme, The Power of Communities. At a time when many LGBT+ people face rising hate and hostility, communities provide solidarity and remind us that we are not alone.

Today is #IDAHOBIT, the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexphobia and Transphobia. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Yesterday, I joined colleagues at a Unison event held ahead of the day. We paused to raise the Progress Pride flag at Newcastle Civic Centre with the Leader of the Council, Karen Kilgour.

Yesterday was something special. It was an unforgettable day for Newcastle, filled with passion, pride, and community spirit.

A huge thank you to everyone who made it happen and to those who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to keep us all safe.

Proud of our city and to be a Geordie. ⚫⚪

Professionally, I joined Luke Myer’s team as his Senior Caseworker, marking a new chapter in my career. Helping people directly with the challenges they face has strengthened my belief in the importance of politics and its power to make a real difference in people’s lives.

In October, I stepped into the role of Deputy Leader of Newcastle City Council after serving as Cabinet Member for the Economy from 2022. In both roles, I’ve worked closely with colleagues in the Council and across the city to secure investment, create jobs, and support our communities.

In May, I was honoured to be re-elected as Councillor for Kingston Park South and Newbiggin Hall with a majority of 1,019 and 65% of the vote. Serving as a ward councillor is a privilege, and I’m incredibly proud of the difference my ward colleagues & I have made since I was first elected in 2021.

Working alongside Susan Dungworth on her successful campaign to become Northumbria’s Police and Crime Commissioner was a highlight, as was helping @kimmcguinness.bsky.social secure election as NE Mayor and witnessing Labour form a government for the first time since 2010.
