I am appalled by the disorder in the centre of Sunderland tonight. Our city is not represented by a tiny minority causing trouble. @northumbriapol have my full support as they respond to criminal thuggery and work to protect all the communities of our city. Tomorrow the people

The thugs last night are not Sunderland. Sunderland is the hundreds of people who have turned up this morning with brooms to sweep away the shards of hate.

Following election as MP for Sunderland Central, I have resigned from the NHS after 19 years. The expertise, humanity & commitment of NHS colleagues I’ve worked with across the North East will forever be with me. Thank you for the amazing things you do. I will miss you. (1/3)

Counting down to 3pm Saturday, I managed to work a cheeky #SAFC Premier League preview into a speech. The first time Mayenda’s views on Sam Fender have been discussed in the House of Commons 👀🔴⚪️

£25million has been confirmed for Crown Works Studio, set to create 8000 jobs thanks to Labour's budget. This is the investment Sunderland needs.

This evening I’ve had the privilege of spending time with Zaf and other leaders from the faith communities of Sunderland. It is clear that Islamophobia and racism was present in some of what we saw last night.

Zaf is a taxi driver. He’s born and bred Sunderland He broke down when he described the hate he’d received This was seconds before racial slurs were thrown, telling him to “go back to his own country” A short clip. Hard, but important, so please watch

Sunderland is a great city with cracking people. A city where I've lived & worked, laughed & cried. It's a city that I love so it's the honour of my life to be selected as the Labour candidate for Sunderland Central. I know after 14 years of Tory govt, Sunderland needs change.

Football is for fans. I have written to @EFL to make clear my frustration that #SAFC & #SUFC fans cannot finalise Wembley play-off final plans because the KO time is still TBC. Fans need to sort travel - and in many cases they also need to sort work & caring responsibilities.
