.@headsafecharity The football community will honour two North East legends today, Ashington’s Sir Bobby Charlton and Ferryhill’s Bill Gates, sporting greats lost to dementia. Today we remember and everyday we must campaign for their legacy #HeadSafeFootball#BillGates
Andy Burnham has called council tax 'highly regressive' and the numbers back him up. A Band D home in Makerfield pays £2,151. The same band in Westminster? £1,048. Unfairness baked in.

URGENT! Pls share. The last chance to register to vote in the General Election is 11.59pm tomorrow Tue 18 June. Potentially 8m aren't registered at their current address. Here's 4 key facts...
1) You can do it online here https://t.co/i4FhJoAXfK
2) It's good for your finances. Not being on electoral roll can make it more difficult to be accepted for credit products like bank accounts or mortgages.
3) You can opt out of the 'Open Register' (which allows your info to be sold on) which will stop you getting junk mail marketing )
4) You'll need ID when you do vote (not to register) if you don't have it, you can get it free until Wed 26 June https://t.co/9bfL3hw3CV
In exactly one month, we can finally kick out this terrible Tory Government after 14 long years.
To help get them out, you must be registered to vote.
And there's just two weeks left to do so. So don't delay, register today.
🟥Register here by June 18

Thank you to every member of Easington CLP who came out in force tonight for the launch of my general election campaign. 🗳️🌹
It is the honour of my life to be chosen by the members as the Labour candidate once again.
Time for change and time for a Labour government. ✊️
👏 @grahamemorris. How is it fair that a Band A property in Easington Colliery faces a #CouncilTax bill of £1,671, which isn’t far behind @RishiSunak's Band H Downing Street house at £1,824?!
Reform of the regressive Council Tax is long overdue.

I have long held the view that reforming #CouncilTax by replacing it with a #ProportionalPropertyTax is not only fairer but would boost household finances in constituencies like mine in #Easington and help to bridge the current funding gap, that many councils are facing.
Football families take legal action against @FA, @EFL, @FAWales, @TheIFAB. Governing bodies owe a duty of care to the whole football community, from Premier League to Sunday League. We must make football heads safe for future generations. @headsafecharity

Northern Rail consistently fails my constituents with its substandard rail service.🚂
A new two-hourly train from Middlesbrough to Newcastle conveniently ignores Seaham and Horden. ⛔ Today, I asked @HuwMerriman to use his influence to get this train to stop in my constituency.
There will be a minute’s round applause at today’s @Boro game at @RiversideStad in honour of our beloved Bill Gates who passed away last weekend. If you’d like to donate in memory of Bill to HSF, set up by Bill’s wife Dr Judith Gates, you can here >> https://t.co/zHqwbmzFA1
@leeannward@arrivanortheast Health, employment and education, the local bus service is a threat to the wellbeing of our community and the local economy. How much longer can @DurhamCouncil and @transportgovuk ignore the damage caused by these sub-standard public transport services.
Thank you @arrivanortheast for cancelling yet another bus for my 16 year old daughter to attend the 2nd day of sixth form. You are limiting the education of our young people with this failing service. It is completely unacceptable.
I am supporting my friend Dave McKenna’s efforts to raise funding and awareness to assist homeless veterans by sponsoring “Staying with Tommy” - Homeless Veterans Campaign. Please help if you can. & RT ♻️ https://t.co/FGJTtzxtyy

Research by @unitetheunion has revealed that corporate profits, not workers’ wages, are at the heart of the cost of living crisis.
The weight of evidence shows that the UK is in the grip of a #profiteering crisis. https://t.co/GR0q2Lg2Qb
