Too true. @MayorJD has been on our picket lines time and time again (not just the high-profile country-wide strikes but cleaners and outsourced catering staff too) and stood strong with us to save ticket offices. There is no other choice for the North East!

We're outside of the office of every shadow cabinet member calling on them to commit to revoking Rosebank and to back a GND.

Today we’ve sent @Keir_Starmer and @DavidLammy an open letter signed by a global coalition of over 95 climate activists, experts and campaigners.
