Government science spending favours London and the South East – so our Regions miss out!
At @SciTechgovuk Qs, I asked the SoS if the Tories were counting Horizon replacement money as new British science spending. She didn't know the answer. But whilst the Tories cook the books on science our regional powerhouses miss out. It's not levelling up, it’s holding back! pic.twitter.com/H6YgzziFtE — Chi Onwurah ????

Conflict in Sudan
The conflict in #Sudan is a humanitarian disaster for the country, its diaspora, the region, and the continent. I asked the Minister to work with the African Union to promote African leadership, involvement and mediation to achieve a successful resolution. pic.twitter.com/RMS9Gvg2xa — Chi Onwurah ????

Mega Profits but Tories still refuse to act to help ordinary people
It is incredibly worrying to hear of a rise in food parcels being issued by West End FoodBank Thank you to foodbank volunteers who go above & beyond to support people in Newcastle. Everyone living in poverty has been let down by 13 years of Tory Governments. CHRONICLE LIVE: Newcastle West End Foodbank hands […]
NHS dentistry access has become almost impossible for so many
Access to NHS Dentistry is almost impossible for many constituents. There is a new generation in #Newcastle who have never had access to dentistry. As well as causing pain and suffering now, the Tories are also building up additional cost for the future. pic.twitter.com/Ut7i8cUxGb — Chi Onwurah ???? (@ChiOnwurah) April 28, 2023 Chi Onwurah […]
Ukraine – a lesson – we need to be ready
The courage & determination of the Ukrainian people in the face of Putin's aggression is an inspiration to all. It also challenges us – we must maintain our military & humanitarian support. That means backfilling our military stockpiles. But Govt has no plan to do that! pic.twitter.com/lEHkUOSsY7 — Chi Onwurah ???? (@ChiOnwurah) April 27, 2023 […]
Sudan – a consistent and humane approach is urgently needed
The Sudanese diaspora in Britain & Brits in Sudan are particularly impacted by the conflict there. My office is receiving desperate casework which recalls the chaotic evacuation of Kabul.

Better bus services for tomorrow, but tomorrow never comes — much like the buses
Again & again Tories promise better #BusServices tomorrow, but tomorrow never comes – much like the buses. I asked the Minister when he would deliver better buses for #Newcastle & hold bus companies to account for the atrocious level of service experienced by constituents. pic.twitter.com/lNJcIqIgb5 — Chi Onwurah ????

Prepayment meters – announcement does absolutely nothing to protect vulnerable
The experience of those on #PrePayment meters in #Newcastle is atrocious.@ofgem's announcement banning pre payment meters being installed for those over 85 years old does nothing for people below that age. I asked the SoS why he isn't protecting vulnerable people of all ages. pic.twitter.com/chBFeEXhUI — Chi Onwurah ???? (@ChiOnwurah) April 19, 2023 The […]
