Been very quiet for the last 48 hours Dehenna?.
On a call with the Home Secretary today I raised the issue of people flocking to Teesdale beauty spots and not adhering to social distancing guidance. It's a huge concern for local residents and I was pleased to hear the Home Sec say she'll take this up with Police Chiefs.

We also remember the women and girls who survived and rebuilt their community. New Hartley today is a vibrant village, respectful of it’s historic legacy, but looking to the future 💜.
Today we remember the 204 men and boys who tragically lost their lives at Hartley Pit on 16 January 1862

Today Northumberland Tories voted to remove council tax support for our poorest residents. Bedlington Independents & Blyth Lib Dems abstained. If they had voted with us we would have been able to protect the most vulnerable people in their communities. Shame on them!.

Thank you for all the kind messages. I am thrilled, excited & a tiny bit terrified to have been elected as Leader by Northumberland Labour Group with @ScottDickinson0 as Deputy. The hard work starts now to #Win2021 . @NlandLabour @LabourCllrs.
Following today's @NlandLabour AGM Cllr @SusanDungworth was elected Leader and Cllr @ScottDickinson0 Deputy Leader. Congratulations both. #Northumberland @LabourCllrs

Correct me if I’m wrong but I seem to remember a red warning for storm Arwen in November for Scotland & NE. We’ve been battered for 3 months, people without power & transport for weeks, property & trees decimated. No Cobra meetings for us 🤷🏻♀️

Well I know who I believe.
Downing Street insists leaders and public were told about North Tyneside 'advice' - despite leaders explicitly saying otherwise.

It has been a delight to work with the team in Sunderland. They have worked so hard and it is reflected in the new councillors elected, as well as the majorities for me and @KiMcGuinness. Congratulations and thanks to you all. ❤️.

Tory MP Roger Gale has had 700-800 letters about Cummings & says “Not one has been computer-generated, they are all individual observations. This is not about Brexit, or a Labour party campaign, none of this is orchestrated.”.

This is how I will remember Ronnie Campbell - serving his community. A man who started work mining coal under Blyth at 15 & ended up representing the people of Blyth Valley in Westminster. He never forgot his roots or his love for Blyth & fought tooth & nail for the area. RIP🌹

Does nobody in this government understand the realities facing people in this country? I am heartbroken at what they are doing. My daughter is 21 on Tuesday, cannot see her grandparents or friends, her university education has been trashed - but hey she can watch horse racing!.
Thanks to the nation’s resolve, horseracing is back from Monday. Wonderful news for our wonderful sport.

A seriously impressive result and you helped deliver the majorities in NEM and PCC elections for @KiMcGuinness and me. All down to effective campaigning and team work and running a great council. You deserve this.
A fantastic result in North Tyneside, we had 47 Labour councillors of 60 before the elections and we now have 51. North Tyneside has once again endorsed Labours leadership of this borough. A special note to Andy Holdsworth, in St Mary’s safest Tory seat now has a Labour Cllr.

I might have missed it, but with the exception of the MP for Hexham supporting Cummings, I have not heard a peep from the other Tory MPs in Northumberland, including my own or their councillors. Not a good look when we are still asking people not to visit Northumberland is it?.

I have lost count of the number of times Tory Transport Secretaries have come up and told us we need a railway. We know. We have campaigned for it and planned for it for decades. But where is the money? @NlandLabour.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps visits Blyth to hear of plans for Ashington-Blyth-Tyne rail passenger line. Mr Shapps says he wants it to happen but is exploring the costings. Critics argue the government should find the money for a project that would transform the area.

What this government has done to students this year is criminal. Unwilling to put financial support into universities or the student rental sector, they have sent them miles from home to sit alone in tiny bedrooms, building up debt & getting no teaching.
