I am freezing Metro fares until the summer. We can’t expect to passengers pay more this spring after the disruption they’ve faced over winter.

Glassworks will be a new facility that continues our city’s proud history of glassmaking. I’m delighted the Government has backed this project which I’ve been pushing for since being elected. Huge step forward for the city and its' future by building on our proud heritage.

The Tories claimed to have 'maxed out' on support for young people. Labour will back them to the hilt, with a guarantee to get them earning or learning by breaking down barriers to opportunity.

John Prescott was a giant of the Labour movement. As Deputy Leader and Deputy Prime Minister he served our party and our country with distinction. The Labour Party sends deepest condolences to Pauline, John’s family, and everyone who knew and loved him. May he rest in peace.

We’re underway with the biggest transfer of power and resources to the people of the North East, from Westminster in a generation. We’re creating real opportunity. New jobs, new homes and training across our region. And this is just the start. My full statement on the Budget.

The choices I have made today are the right ones for our country. To restore stability to our public finances, protect working people, fix our NHS and rebuild Britain. If the Tories disagree with these then they must answer: What choices would they make?

To mark the start of this year’s Poppy Appeal, I placed a commemoration in Parliament’s garden of remembrance in memory of the service and sacrifice of all those from Sunderland Central who defended our freedoms and protected our way of life.

Creative industries are a crucial part of our economy - I am determined they thrive in Sunderland. Today, the government set out how it will support the film industry - so I championed the investment in Crown Works Studio which could create thousands of good jobs.

First day back in parliament. I wanted to reflect on the disorder we saw last month and highlight the strength in Sunderland's community response. Here's what the Home Secretary had to say 👇

Today we launched the North East Child Poverty Reduction Unit. The first of its kind, this unit will use every lever available to tackle poverty. First, we’ll deliver a Mayor’s childcare grant to help parents get into work. Every child deserves real opportunity. We’ll make sure there’s nothing in their way.
