Out in Newbottle this morning, speaking with residents about issues local and national.

So many people telling me they will be backing Labour at the next election. We’re a changed party, ready to change Britain for the better.

This remains a difficult time for many in our area and I’ll be taking up all cases mentioned on the doorstep. If you or your family need any assistance, drop me a line at bridget.phillipson.mp@parliament.uk or call my office on 0191 584 4317.
