Junk food harms kids.

@jamieoliveroffical.bsky.social and I are taking a stand and backing his #AdEnough campaign by banning junk food adverts on Tyne and Wear Metro 🚇

We want to help young people make healthy choices- they don’t need to see a load of ads for unhealthy food. Enough is enough.

We’re backing the award-winning Ad Gefrin in Wooler with our Events and Festivals fund. They have an exciting Yule celebration planned.

This is all about bringing a community together, welcoming visitors and celebrating the food, heritage and culture of our North East.

Sophie is smashing the stereotype of what a construction worker looks like! 👷‍♀️

It was brilliant chatting to her about her career at @bellwayhomes and how she’s helping shape the future of house building.🏠

She’s a role model for other women striving for success in this growing industry.💪🏽

Our New Deal for North East Workers will make our region the best place to work.

That means skills courses so young people can get a 1st job, help to climb the career ladder and support if you want to get back into work.

So people across our region can get a good day’s pay for a hard day’s work.

Moor Farm roundabout on the A19 needs an upgrade!

Fixing it will:

🏘️ Unlock thousands of new homes
🚑 Make it quicker and easier to access the hospital at Cramlington
🚘 Ease traffic for thousands each day

@emmafoodymp.bsky.social and I are pushing this hard and will continue to until it’s sorted!

Young people growing up in the North East deserve their part in a future driven by AI.

It was brilliant to speak to apprentices with Tech Secretary Liz Kendall at Sage.

They’re a key part of our new AI Growth Zone in Northumberland and North Tyneside.

The North East is truly leading the way!

We couldn’t stand by and watch one of Durham’s iconic bridges risk closure.

We’ll be investing £7.5m to get Baths Bridge back up to scratch for generations to come!
