This is a disgraceful headline by the Mail, an obvious attempt to divide people & we mustn’t let that happen: all workers are entitled to safe workplaces. A rushed, unsafe reopening of schools affects us all. That’s what is at the heart of teacher’s concerns, not self-interest.

All the data for Gateshead is published online every day. Any member of the public can scrutinise the data. Just as every school can examine the data and determine what’s safe for their staff and pupils.

@MartinGannon002 what determines that it is safe? You can’t make statements like that without following it up? Show us the real numbers!

I've emailed my council leader @MartinGannon002 asking him to lobby the Govn for local funding to institute locally led #TrackAndTrace instead of the current failures of T&T by Serco and Sitel, who's contracts are due to end on 23rd August 2020. Email yours too. #ToryCorruption

@MattHancock @BorisJohnson Thanks for the “enhanced support”. The mobile testing unit that you promised to Gateshead didn’t arrive this morning, despite apologies, no date when it will. Can I invite you to explain to the entire NE what exactly your “enhanced support” entails

I’m now beyond furious. Weeks of meaningless negotiations. They told us we’d find out what support we’d get this Wednesday, then it’s Friday. Today they put out a press release saying we’ll get something but we’ll not be told what it is until next week. It’s complete contempt.

Clear message to government. “Levelling up means reopening the Leamside, thereby increasing ECML capacity and facilitating expansion, transforming the T&W Metro to the NE Metro. Economic growth and tackling congestion, air quality and climate change

Hi Kim. Just listened to the BBC Hustings. Well done. Not an easy formate but you were very good. Have to say that outside of a friendly audience, that’s less gullible to his outrageous claims, he was floundering. Keep up the good work. You’re winning through.

On 2nd May, we’ll elect our first North East Mayor. I love our North East, I know you do too. Together, we can make our region the home of real opportunity, so everyone can thrive, not just those at the top. Vote @UKLabour so we can build our own future, our way on our terms!
