Today along with @KiMcGuinness, @JoeMorrisMP and @ScottDickinson0 Iāve written to the Chancellor to urge the Govt to look again at the long-term goal of dualling the A1 from Morpeth to Berwick in the light of changes to the Treasury Green Book.

Huge congratulations to everyone getting their results today. You should be so proud of all your hard work. Whichever path you take next, you have options and there is support where you need it. Well done!

A record-breaking 383 million GP appointments delivered this year.
By slashing red tape, we're helping GPs get more time to focus on their patients.
And with new Neighbourhood Health Services, we'll bring care closer to home.
ALT 7 million more GP appointments delivered in the last year
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is MISLEADING. Many of these appointments are with ānon-GP professionalsā such as physician assistants, advanced clinical practitioners, pharmacists, and other allied health staff rather than with qualified GPs.

A joyful evening celebrating Rev Rachael Dineās licensing as Priest-in-Charge of St Johnās Chevington & St Cuthbertās Amble. Inspiring words from @BishopNewcastle , and great to see support from across our church & civic community. A hopeful step forward! #ChurchLife
Today we voted to get on with the job at #Northumberland County Council: backing cross-party reforms, supporting Community Partnerships & protecting vital investment in towns like Ashington & Blyth. Reform UKās reckless motion was rightly rejected. Time to move forward.

The dream of home ownership is out of reach for too many families in Northumberland. That has to change - thatās why the Labour Government has just announced the biggest boost to social and affordable housing in a generation. Labour is turning this country around.

Today I opened the Energy Central Campus in Blyth, a setting ready to train young people for the jobs of the future.
While others shy away from the challenges ahead, we'll continue to run towards energy security ā for cheaper bills, for well-paid jobs, for new opportunities.
