Labour — Newcastle upon Tyne Central and West

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 November 2025

Debate

Incomes of Working Families: Newcastle

Contribution

Under 14 years of Tory misrule, workers in the north-east saw their average annual earnings fall, causing a cost of living crisis for families across the region. We have fantastic, passionate and productive workers. Will the Minister promise to continue to turn back on Tory failure by investing in the industry of the north-east to deliver high-wage, high-quality jobs as part of a Budget for working people?
