Today is #IDAHOBIT, the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexphobia and Transphobia.
Yesterday, I joined colleagues at a Unison event held ahead of the day. We paused to raise the Progress Pride flag at Newcastle Civic Centre with the Leader, Karen Kilgour.

Professionally, I joined @Luke_Myer鈥檚 team as his Senior Caseworker, marking a new chapter in my career. Helping people directly with the challenges they face has strengthened my belief in the importance of politics and its power to make a real difference in people鈥檚 lives.

Working alongside @SusanDungworth on her successful campaign to become Northumbria鈥檚 Police and Crime Commissioner was a highlight, as was helping @KiMcGuinness secure election as NE Mayor and witnessing Labour form a government for the first time since 2010.

It was great to be joined by @Norma4Mayor, @GlindonMary, @CMcKinnellMP, @efoody, and lots of Labour Party members in Longbenton.
We talked to local residents about their priorities - which will help shape my Mayoral Manifesto.
