Andy McDonald MP for Middlesbrough & Thornaby East

Such a fantastic and fitting tribute to two wonderful officers who gave so much to their communities. A poignant touch that their sons took part. Well done to everyone involved.

Both @ClevelandPolice and @ClevelandFire are under-resourced.

Good to meet @ClevelandFBU members in Parliament today including firefighters based at Thornaby where the hours of cover may be cut.

We need the secure funding our fire service and local community deserves.

It's wonderful to see our bright children let their imagination run riot through art. I dropped in at Archibald School where young artists were drawing a Boroeux Tapestry of sounds as part of the Turner on Tees project. Great fun.

This winter, Labour will provide a £40m fund to help GPs identify the 300,000 most vulnerable patients early, keep them well at home and prevent avoidable hospital admissions. That's practical support not paperwork.

Congratulations to brilliant @Boro fanzine Fly Me To The Moon at being nominated for the national @WeAreTheFSA awards. Fly Me has been a real labour of love by diehard fans for so many years. Good luck.
