It's wonderful to see our bright children let their imagination run riot through art. I dropped in at Archibald School where young artists were drawing a Boroeux Tapestry of sounds as part of the Turner on Tees project. Great fun.

This winter, Labour will provide a £40m fund to help GPs identify the 300,000 most vulnerable patients early, keep them well at home and prevent avoidable hospital admissions. That's practical support not paperwork.

Celebrating the launch of the Secure Roots project, working with Sparks Aspirations to support, engage and inspire primary school children in Middlesbrough, Thornaby and the Tees Valley. A great scheme backed to the tune of £2.5m by NZT Power and NEP.

The Rail Minister is absolutely right on this. It is urgent that the Northern fleet is replaced with rolling stock fit for an ambitious local economy.
"Every train in the north of England is clapped out - we need to replace them all" says Rail Minister Lord Hendy.

"I welcomed the Chancellor's £100 rebate for 50,000 local households in the Budget.
"But with too many families relying on food parcels still, it's vital the Milburn and Timms reviews do not further restrict social security support."

I welcome government concessions to @unisontheunion campaign to protect those on existing visas in the social care sector and prevent collapse.
But extending the wait for settled status for new workers and a two-tier salary threshold means a climate of insecurity and unfairness.

I was at the Middlesbrough Diwali celebrations in Centre Square on Saturday and it was brilliant. This is always a wonderful event, bringing our town and communities together with music and food and fun.

Outsourcing public services costs billions, as @Cmmonwealth have found.
So I welcome the announcement of the First Secretary of State of a dedicated Insourcing Unit.
I urged the Transport Secretary to develop an insourcing strategy in concert with @RMTunion and others.

It was a real privilege to be at the ceremony to award Dave Budd the Freedom of the Borough of Middlesbrough. It is an honour richly deserved, recognising a lifetime of commitment to the town and to public service.

From today, unions will have the right of access to workplaces.
That means they can meet their members and organise to raise wages and improve conditions.
Now let's put that right to work.
