Leaked docs show that DfT staff were ordered to stop working on dualling the A1 through Nthumberland in 2021.

Despite Tory posturing at NCC and in Ldn, the funding was withdrawn 4 years ago.

My focus remains on getting sensible safety improvements from Morpeth to Berwick.

Rachel Reeves brings big investment to North East - and insists Government will turn around the region's fortunes https://t.co/ospulIeq9r

[Ian Lavery @IanLaveryMP]

It was great to welcome the Minister for Future of Roads, Lillian Greenwood MP, to Blyth to see for herself the issues getting in and out of the town.

For Blyth to continue to thrive we need real investment so people can access the exciting developments taking place.

[Lewis Atkinson MP @LewisAtkinson]

Great to have @RachelReevesMP in Sunderland to talk economic growth & raising living standards.

This Government and @SunderlandLab have a plan for change in our city with Riverside housing, more jobs & shorter NHS waits.

We have such a bright future: we’ll deliver that together

[Kim McGuinness @KiMcGuinness]

Great news for Christmas for workers at ⁦@HitachiRailENG⁩.

I’ve been working with them and Government to protect these great jobs in County Durham.

⁦Newcastle based @LumoTravel⁩ building trains here shows the strength of our regional pride. https://t.co/b8rJp6KKf5

[Alan Strickland MP @AlanStrickland]

🚨 Hitachi train factory saved 🚨

After two years of campaigning, we’ve secured the world class Hitachi train plant in Aycliffe.

The Tories abandoned the factory and its workers.

Keir Starmer promised to secure its future.

He’s delivered.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

My government is relentlessly focused on delivering for working people.

Today’s deal will secure the future of jobs in the Northeast, uplift our industrial heartlands and boost rail services for passengers across the UK.

[Rachel Reeves @RachelReevesMP]

Labour is protecting jobs, supporting industrial heartlands and boosting rail services.

We made a promise to the workforce of the Newton Aycliffe factory and today we have delivered on that promise.

[Lewis Atkinson MP @LewisAtkinson]

A privilege to give my maiden speech in Parliament yesterday.

I reflected on the hard work and innovation that built Sunderland, and our shared future.

I grew up in a council house, I know how important they are.

But, over 60,000 people in our region are on the social housing waiting list.

I’m working with @AngelaRayner⁩ to make sure we get building and when we do, we build more social housing. https://t.co/trAdkZUUbl
