Let’s keep talking Hartlepool 👊 Being your MP isn’t a part-time job. I live here, raised my family here and want to be visible, accessible and accountable. Next: Victoria Ward, Friday 23 Oct, 6pm at the Salaam Centre. From Hartlepool. For Hartlepool.

When councils fail, trust in politics fails with them. After 20 years on the frontline of local government, I know we need bold change, not more Westminster groupthink, to rebuild our councils and restore public trust. 👇👇

Running for HCLG Select Committee Chair on Monday. Much of the anger and disconnect we see from constituents stems from the hollowing out of our councils, the front door to our democracy. I’ll be a strong, independent and challenging voice to secure the change we need.

💪 Backing Hartlepool’s entrepreneurs. Scarborough Street is proof our town is on the up, with local businesses investing, creating jobs and attracting visitors. Funding is in place for a pilot pedestrianisation scheme. The Council should now get on and deliver it. #Hartlepool

💙 Every child deserves the best start in life. That’s why we’re investing in Hartlepool’s future: rebuilding St Helen’s, rolling out free breakfast clubs, expanding free school meals, new playgrounds and youth centres. Together, we’re building a brighter future for the next generation. #Hartlepool

🔵⚪️ Up the Pools! 🔵⚪️ Annual tradition: new shirt before the season starts. This year, like a doyle, I left it too late and they’d sold out of my size! 😂 Cameron got his though. Great sign of the buzz around the club. Bring on the season… and #3UP! 💙🤍

🚌 FREE BUSES FOR CHILDREN STARTS TODAY! From today, every 5–15-year-old can travel by bus for FREE throughout August as part of Labour’s Great British Summer Savings. Cameron and I were on board today celebrating practical help for families. More days out, lower costs, more memories. #Hartlepool

🚨 We’re building a movement to scrap Council Tax. 🚨 This broken tax is still based on 1991 property values. That’s why a Band D home in Hartlepool pays around £2,556 while one in Wandsworth pays around £1,020. It’s unfair, outdated and upside down. Time to replace it with a fair system. Join us.

💙 Let’s Talk Hartlepool 💙 Last night at Hartlepool FE College reminded me why I love this town: positive conversations, great questions and real unity. When we listen face to face, our community’s strength shines. This is just the beginning. 💙

The honour of my life to lay a wreath at the Cenotaph in Victory Square on Remembrance Sunday as Hartlepool’s MP. Our town united to remember those who gave everything for our freedom. We owe a debt we must always honour. We will remember them. 🌺🇬🇧

It was an honour to pop down to The Annexe in Hartlepool this morning to say hello to the truly incredible people preparing a very special Christmas Dinner. They’re giving their time, kindness and compassion today to help those in need. They are the true spirit of our town. ❤️

Emotional morning on the headland as we remembered those killed in the bombardment on December 16th 1914. I laid a wreath and also a cross with the name of one victim - Robert Wilfred Cook - inscribed upon it. He was just 8 years old. Photo by Frank Reid.

Hartlepool’s nuclear power station will continue operating beyond 2026! This power station is essential for our local economy, and I'm committed to pushing for investment in new nuclear to keep Hartlepool at the heart of the UK's future prosperity.

Today is #WhiteRibbonDay, where men are encouraged to hold themselves accountable to women and to each other. #ItStartswithMen It was a pleasure to meet with Ministers Jess Phillips, Anneliese Dodds and Alex Davies-Jones to promote Labour’s mission to halve violence against women and girls.

As part of UK #ParliamentWeek it was a joy to visit Eldon Grove Primary and High Tunstall College in Hartlepool and speak to the pupils there. When they asked what the best part of my job was, the answer was easy… ‘This!’.

Reform’s Richard Tice today praised the last Labour Government handling of asylum, saying it was done in a ‘sensible’ way. He highlighted that ‘applications were dealt with in 3-4 weeks, including appeals’ and that ‘only about 20% of applications were granted asylum’.
