My experience in industry questioned – when Tories on backfoot
Nice of this Conservative MP to question my experience in industry because he didn't agree with what I was saying. The Tories are tearing themselves apart & the PM's weak leadership leaves them lashing out. pic.twitter.com/Aso2gpu7Io — Chi Onwurah ????

Labour will introduce specialist rape courts
The @NorthumbriaPCC has introduced Independent Sexual Violence Champions to improve victim experience in the face of this Govt's failure where less than 1 in 50 recorded rapes are charged. I asked if the Minister if he would commit to specialist rape courts, as Labour has done. pic.twitter.com/6FReLErwYi — Chi Onwurah ???? (@ChiOnwurah) February 22, 2023 […]
Fans should be at the heart of football
⚫️⚪️We're on our way to Wembley!⚪️⚫️ I asked the Minister if he would wish #NUFC well in Sunday's final and if he would commit to an Independent Regulator and give fans real power over the beautiful game. I didn't get an answer to either but he did tell me he had a ticket! pic.twitter.com/tUhpTz5amW — […]
Labour will introduce tough penalties for fly-tippers and those who make the mess will clean it up
Labour will introduce tough penalties for fly-tippers and those who make the mess will clean it up. A Labour government will bring fresh thinking to anti social behaviour. Litter blights our cities, that’s why I set out my 15 Point Plan for Newcastle: https://chionwurahmp.com/wp-content/uploads/15-pt-action-plan-for-litter.pdf
Public Transport should respond to peaks in demand
LNER cannot run any more trains because of delays to timetable revision. I hoped public transport service could respond flexibly to peaks in demand. LNER also said fans should have booked trains for the final before NUFC had even kicked off the QF! NEWCASTLE CHRONICLE: Newcastle MP Chi Onwurah reacts after LNER confirms no additional […]

Tory Minister presides over 321 year’s worth of sewage in just three years
Therese Coffey presided over 321 years worth of sewage over three years as water minister. She told me earlier this year that beaches were cleaner with the Tories in charge and that it was Labour's fault.

Good News – Strawberry Place site purchased by NUFC
I’m pleased to hear that the land at Strawberry Place has been purchased by NUFC. It should never have been sold off by Ashley in the first place. People of Newcastle were clear they would not support the use of public money which could impact the future of St James’ Park. EXCLUSIVE: Newcastle United buy […]
