Emotional and uplifting to host @dollyslibrary this week in Parliament.
Dolly's work has put millions of books into the hands of little ones. I'm determined that in South Shields & across the UK this legacy grows. Every child should experience the joy & magic of reading. 💕🎶📚

Today, I stand with Aberfan. I stand with the people of Aberfan, and I stand with the community as we honour the memory of all those that were lost.

As a strong WASPI supporter, I am hosting an upcoming meeting with the campaign group. 📅
I am aware this has been shared by some on social media giving the impression it is a public meeting and that people can turn up on the day. 📲

🎗️💗 Today is Lobular Breast Cancer Day.

🛍️ Shoplifting has an impact on all of us and in particular on retail staff who face daily risks from this behaviour.
It hurts local businesses, workers and our communities. We need tougher action to tackle repeat offenders and support our high streets.
