I recently tabled this motion for Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Day 2026. With the Health Bill returning to Parliament on Monday, I will be speaking up for a national strategy for care of those aff...

Condemnation of Netanyahu’s war crimes is meaningless unless matched with impactful trade and arms bans. Anything less exposes the UK to the charge of complicity.

The Milburn Review tells the story of a system failing too many of our young people - particularly those Not in Education, Employment or Training (NEET). As Alan Milburn makes clear, there is no si...

The Railways Bill returns next week, establishing Great British Railways to make the railway work for passengers, customers, and taxpayers. I have tabled a motion - and amendments to the bill - to...

The Labour Government is putting in this huge community investment through its #PrideinPlace programme. I have launched a survey to ask how we should spend £40m in Thorntree and Park End. Please ...

Too many employees who go through all the hoops of an employment tribunal never actually receive their award. I have tabled a motion in parliament to seek better enforcement of these awards. Read...

Fantastic to see the Boro faithful at Wembley. Incredible achievement by @Boro to get the full allocation issued in record time. #UTB https://t.co/83k8JuPKFx

@KarlTurnerMP It’s the quiz question of the age! Congratulations Hull.

On Teesside, iron and steel built towns, livelihoods and identities from the early 19th century onwards. As Chris Rea said - the ships and bridges, they were all delivered from Sydney Harbour to t...

@MarieannaONeill @ChrisMcDonaldMP @annaturley @inrictus Hi Marieanna, we will look into what, if anything, can be done first thing in the morning. If @inrictus can email contact details to Andy.McD...

Today I spoke on the latest appalling acts of Israeli ministers. Our diplomacy and limited sanctions approach with Israel are clearly not working. We need to escalate pressure, enforce criminal l...

A financial penalty would have simply been the price of doing business. The EFL have done the right thing. 3/3.

There's still a big game to be played and Hull can't be underestimated but expelling Southampton and putting Boro in the final is the only sanction the inquiry commission could impose. 2/3.

Promotion for Middlesbrough would be transformational, giving everybody such a massive lift as well as the economic activity it brings to the town as well, amongst other things. 1/3. https://t.co/e...

I'll be at Wembley on Saturday - this is our moment and we've got a really good chance. As I told @bbctees today - I'd crawl over broken glass to be there. We're in the game - game on. https://t...

This morning I spoke to @BBCTees about the @EFL decision on Spygate to expel Southampton and reinstate the Boro. What an opportunity for Boro. All of Teesside will be behind them as will a lot o...

The @EFL have made the right decision. Such blatant rule breaking had to be dealt with firmly. All our focus now turns to Wembley. #utb https://t.co/RJmfzRBHaB

Andy's right. The draining away of economic, social and political power through deindustrialisation and deregulation left people with a sense of injustice. To put all of that right and truly benefi...

It was a pleasure to visit the KFC Foundation Youth Hub at Meath Street in central Middlesbrough for its first anniversary. The hub has already made a difference in the community, helping young pe...

Today is Spinal Cord Injury Awareness Day. We need a national spinal cord injury strategy to replace the current fragmented approach. Coordinated, person-centred care with specialised spinal cord...
