A pleasure to attend the Obesity APPG drop-in in Parliament today on World Obesity Day. Obesity affects millions across the United Kingdom, yet access to support remains inconsistent. We must work to change this. #obesityappg #worldobesityday

Always glad to welcome a Secretary of State to Durham, particularly when they’re here to campaign for some our brill candidates in the upcoming local elections. Jimmy and Marion were joined by Bridget Phillipson MP on their rounds today. Thanks to everyone in Ushaw Moor who took time to speak to us.

Great to meet with VisitEngland reps to discuss tourism & statistics in the Durham & wider county. Our historic city attracts 6.5mill annual visitors. From events like the Durham Miners' Gala & Durham Regatta, to Lumiere & Fire & Ice in winter. Durham has such a unique charm & I’m proud to be MP!

As a breast cancer survivor, I’m backing NHS England’s drive to improve uptake of breast screening. Going to my screening saved my life. It might save yours too.

I've written to Wes Streeting about the state of NHS dentistry in Durham & beyond. Under the Tories, folks in my constituency were literally pulling their teeth out because they couldn't secure an NHS appt. We need to crack on with our manifesto commitments and stop the rot in NHS dentistry.

Following news reports yday re proposed changed to rail timetables in Durham, & an influx of correspondence from constituents who were rightly outraged, I have written to the Secretary of State for Transport to relay my concerns & those of rail users in Durham. I await her response with interest.

A year ago this month I was diagnosed with breast cancer. A year on, I'm cancer free. I'm really proud that the Labour government is taking breast cancer care seriously, transforming care and saving lives. #WorldCancerDay

Today is World Cancer Day, a day that unites people around 🌍 to raise awareness of cancer. I’m proud to work with NHS England to find ways to encourage people to attend screening appts, I’m living proof of how important those appts are. I’ll be forever grateful to our NHS for saving my life.

For the past month I've been scrutinising the Tobacco and Vapes Bill. As you can see, I'm pleased that it's through. Smoking is still the number one preventable cause of death, disability, and ill-health in Britain. The Bill will consign the harms of smoking to history. 🚭

I'm aware there are parts of my constituency still without power following Storm Eowyn. I know Northern Powergrid are working hard to get everyone back up & running but I’ve asked for updates for the impacted areas I'm aware of. If you're without power & are yet to report it, please call 105.

Many people wrote to me asking that I attend the #FurFreeBritain event in Parliament this week, I was only too pleased to go & find out more. By ending the UK’s role in the fur trade, we can safeguard animals, our health, & our values & I’m proud to back the Bill for a ban on fur imports & sales.

My views ahead of the #AssistedDyingBill today. I started sending this to constituents yesterday - and will continue today due to the sheer volume of emails.
