The North East NUM Thomas Hepburn memorial is always a special occasion I was proud to give the lecture this year. Hepburns Union began 200 years ago and we all benefit from the struggles back then. The past we inherit the future we build .

Today we remember the 13 brave miners who lost their lives at Woodhorn Colliery.
We remember them and all those who lost their lives or loved ones in the mines.
I hope you get the chance this summer to attend Woodhorn and get a chance to remember these men and their sacrifice.

Sir Brian Langstaff's recommendations highlight huge issues with the initial scheme arrangements for the victims of the infected blood scandal. 460 people have settled their claims to date but many more have sadly passed away whilst waiting.
There can be no more delays.

People didn’t vote for The Labour Party’s “change” to be a change for the worse.
They really had some faith in us, I still want to deliver on what we promised them. That is why I am voting against this Welfare Bill.

It is totally unacceptable that my constituents are being told to travel 170 miles for cancer treatment and foot the bill for accommodation and transport. Especially when there is a treatment centre right on their doorstep.
We need the Rutherford Centre re-opened urgently.

The victims of the horrendous contaminated blood scandal are understandably furious & frustrated in equal measure at the pace of rightful settlement. I continue to support them in Parliament.

There is something deeply, deeply wrong if MPs vote to make their own constituents worse off.
I am proud to stand up for the 10,467 people of Blyth and Ashington who claim PIP.

Why is it that Reform vote against empowering the working class?
It’s simple.
Whilst they masquerade as a party for ordinary people, they are a cheap and nasty Thatcher tribute act. Our communities were destroyed by the original, now Reform are trying to push us back again.

Last week marked 40 years since the end of the Miners’ Strike.
The party of vulture capital won that battle, but the fact a former striking miner, like myself, can stand up in Parliament and vote to empower our class across the country shows they will never keep us down.
