The damage that the Conservative Party has done to our country has been immense.

While the economic shocks from Covid-19 and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine could not be predicted, Britain is lagging in its recovery compared to our G7 counterparts.

Fire Services: North-east England - Westminster Hall debate

Sharon Hodgson MP holds public meeting in the Redhouse Community Association, Rutherglen Road, Sunderland.

Pictured here: Public meeting with Kim McGuinness, Redhill ward Sunderland.

"It was great to hold a public meeting for Redhill and Castle residents alongside Kim McGuinness, the Northumbria Police and Crime Commissioner, Inspector Steve Prested, and our six Labour Councillors for these wards. Residents raised their concerns about speeding and antisocial behaviour in the area, with the police and Councillors agreeing to work on this together.  With the cost of living crisis and a widespread mental health crisis across the country, Northumbria Police have never been busier and it is so important that residents are able to talk to them about their concerns."  Sharon Hodgson MP

Sunak promised professionalism; his premiership so far is 'a professional car crash'

In another example of the merry-go-round that is Tory government these days, Rishi Sunak, after jumping ship as Chancellor three months ago and personally putting the last nail in the coffin of Boris Johnson’s stint as Prime Minister, has returned to Downing Street as the latest captain of the sleaze and scandal-ridden sinking ship that is this Tory government.

Tories are making life harder for people every day they are in office.

The kamikaze budget will have significant repercussions for household bills, budgets and the future of the country.

My condolences are with the Royal Family tonight upon the news of the death of Her late Majesty The Queen.

A figure we had come to see as timeless, her service was an example to us all.

She leaves the monarchy, the nation and the world a better place through her devotion to duty.
