Glassworks will be a new facility that continues our city’s proud history of glassmaking.
I’m delighted the Government has backed this project which I’ve been pushing for since being elected.
Huge step forward for the city and its' future by building on our proud heritage.

The Tories claimed to have 'maxed out' on support for young people.
Labour will back them to the hilt, with a guarantee to get them earning or learning by breaking down barriers to opportunity.

John Prescott was a giant of the Labour movement.
As Deputy Leader and Deputy Prime Minister he served our party and our country with distinction.
The Labour Party sends deepest condolences to Pauline, John’s family, and everyone who knew and loved him.
May he rest in peace.

We’re underway with the biggest transfer of power and resources to the people of the North East, from Westminster in a generation.
We’re creating real opportunity. New jobs, new homes and training across our region.
And this is just the start.
